Context

Just wanted to create an easy-to-use dataset for MLB players.

Content

This dataset was scraped from baseball-reference.com, using the Gazpacho package in Python and some Pandas for cleaning. According to baseball-reference.com, there are ~23,000 unique players who have played professional baseball, and these two CSVs will include them all.

Acknowledgements

Thank you baseball-reference and Kaggle for allowing me to collect and share this data.

Inspiration

Look forward to seeing what people are going to do with these CSVs

All the best!

PS: Down the road - I will be adding more advanced stats to these CSVs so keep an eye out if you are interested.
