Starting today we're going to look at my top 9 favorite (in no particular order) online resources for College Baseball information.Somehow I managed to miss this website until it was over a year old, but CollegeSplits.com is a gem.
The website is divided into three parts:
■ College Splits Data: Stats on college hitters and pitchers. Not all players are included, just the ones that meet their at-bat qualifications. The basic stats are unremarkable, but then they also have park adjusted, schedule adjusted, park/schedule adjusted stats, and a daily recap of leaders during the season. I'm still looking for the page that explains their methods.
■ College Splits Blog: Lots of categorized data here, along with analysis. Topics like Reading college strikeout rates, College shortstop defense, Scouting the scouts. Many of their analysis posts actually reside on HardballTimes.com, but are linked from College Splits
■ College Splits on Twitter: A lot of Twitter pages (including mine) are just posts to push followers to the main website. But College Splits uses their tweets to post interesting news bits and to solicit input from readers on research projects.
The Data section is a good resource; The blog is an interesting read; the tweets are worth following. CollegeSplits.com has made it to my list of valued College Baseball Resources.
