Welcome to PG+, the brainchild of Brian Labude (@Polar_Bear_Ball) and myself (Daniel Labude, @OrcaBaseball). We set out to create something that would make sifting through the untold amounts of data for minor leaguers easier. A more efficient way to find prospects that are popping up, standing out, or having stellar seasons. The fruit of our labor is a scoring system that lets you see how prospects are doing in-season and how that compares to the average minor leaguer and other prospects.

 

In the simplest terms, PG+ is an in-season weighted scoring of prospects based on their performance and then adjusted based on prospect age and level. The PG score is the raw outcome of weighting multiple categories for hitters and a separate set of categories for pitchers. The PG score is then normalized (PG+), so that a score of 100 is equal to the average minor league hitter and pitcher (separately). 

​

For hitters, we have applied a unique weight in order to distinguish it based on how valuable stats are to future success and prospect status.

​​

For pitching we have done the same, but use categories and stats reflective of the position.

​

The scores have sections for all MiLB Hitting and for MiLB pitching, there is also a section for all MLB Hitters and Pitchers. Currently, the DSL and Complex Leagues only appear as they`re separate leagues and are not incorporated into the MiLB hitters as a whole.

​

The goal of PG+ is to be updated weekly, so throughout the season, it can be used to see the changes in players on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. Hopefully, it will make an impact on finding players who are undervalued, overvalued, popping up, or dropping fast, as well as being easier than sifting through all the data that is out there. 

​

We look forward to continuing to adjust and making PG+ better and more accurate to help everyone in their fantasy baseball adventures.
