The Dynasty Guru updates its peak performance leaderboards weekly. View the latest update here (updated through last week’s games). The leaderboards present peak MLB wOBA for all players, minor and major leaguers. Peak MLB wOBA captures league difficulty, adjusting minor league performance from each league to the same major league baseline.

Last Week, we began updating leaderboards that document the top minor league performances throughout the course of the year. Minor league performances are translated to projected offensive peaks of the players, based on data we have researched on aging curves and minor league level to MLB translations. We will update

MLB Equivalency and Aging Curves On Monday, the Dynasty Guru debuted The Dynasty Guru’s Sortable MLB Equivalency Leaderboard, which projects 2019 MLB performance using Jordan Rosenblum’s MLB Equivalency Calculator and his research on typical MLB aging curves.  In his article, Jordan shares a list of the top 50 projected offensive

In early April, The Dynasty Guru released a tool for translating minor league statistics to MLB equivalent statistics, also demonstrating their predictive validity for projecting 2019 performance. In March, we released a four–part aging curves series leveraging a new twist on the delta method. Now, we’ve combined those two projects to

Note: this calculator was updated on 5-15-2021. See an explanation and peak projections leveraging these MLB equivalencies here. Since the information to compute equivalencies for the new minor league leagues is not yet available, the calculator assumes the new Double-A is as hard as the old Double-A, etc. The calculator

Making sense of minor league statistics is hard. One has to be very familiar with historical performances in different leagues, and how performance evolves after leagues change, to form an intuitive expectation of how minor league performance translates to the MLB level. Major league equivalencies (MLEs) make interpreting minor league

I have been playing fantasy baseball for approximately 15 years. Since the beginning, I have been a prospect and MLB youth hunter, always keeping an eye peeled for the next big thing. You’re not likely to see me fawn much over scout ratings/grades, launch angles, or exit velocities. Some may

Getting Practical Throughout this four–part aging series, my editor has begged me to get my head out of the clouds in considering aging, asking me to move beyond a research mindset to make some actual, tangible predictions that can help readers win their fantasy leagues in 2019 and beyond. I’ve

Part one of this series summarized a novel twist on the delta method to understand player aging, with estimated missing seasons to correct for selection bias. Part two presented the main findings of the delta method: players peak between 26 and 29; they experience substantial growth over their careers in all
