Big fan of Diamond Mind Baseball (what most of us just call DMB — Imagine Sports). The sim is real, deep, and worth your time. This site is the output of my love of the game, coffee, and minor manic episodes 😛 😉

Research
Papers and write-ups: theory, methods, data.
Completed
- Park effects: factors → additive deltas — How we translate the game's park factors into additive deltas (per 600 AB), golden-ratio fit, scatter plots, and a full reference table with additive columns. Posted to the board for extended discussion.
In progress
- Park × hitter type: validation and exploitability — Does the sim match real-life extremes for contact hitters in extreme parks (e.g. Ashburn: 0 HR at Astrodome, 14 HR at GRF in a coded league)? Validate engine vs. real life and test whether building for your park by hitter type is exploitable. Idea stage.
- Research ideas & backlog — More ideas (Flood study, diminishing returns, variance by player, salary history, visual analysis & dashboard). Vote on what I tackle next — board, Buy Me a Coffee, or DM.
Visualizations & tools
Dashboards and trackers you can use now. Some are work in progress.
- DMO Season Tracker — My team data; standings, run differential, and charts. Loaded after the regular season ends.
- GOT XX Round 1 Analysis — Tournament dashboard: rankings, advancement (top 108), tie-breaker RS/RA ratio, leagues and team detail.
- Diamond Scope Dashboard — Salary vs RC600, BA, OBP, SLG, OPS, HRF. Shape and color by defense, speed, durability. Filter by position and bats.
