Baseball History

This Power BI report is a true treasure trove for baseball enthusiasts and statisticians alike, as it covers the sport's rich history dating all the way back to the 1870s. This is not just a static representation of baseball statistics, but an ad-hoc experience where the user can choose whatever baseball statistic they want, and the report will update the main visualization based on their selection. With the use of field parameters, the report provides a highly customizable experience, allowing users to explore the data in a way that is most meaningful to them. And for those who want even more detail, there is also a drill-through feature available to view details on any selection.  Whether you're a fan of the game or just curious about its history, this report is sure to provide an engaging and informative experience.

 

Source data is from Sean Lahman's Baseball Database.  This release includes playing statistics through the end of the 2025 season.

 

Cheers,

  • Great dashboard. I'm new to Power Bi, long time Tableau user.

     

    I did notice some awards are missing. Cy Young and MVPs are missing from 2018-2022. I was also wondering if ERA and WHIP could be sorted low to high and if SP/RP could be included in the position filter? Love the use of the team colors. And the images from baseball movies is a fun touch!

      Thank you!  I appreciate you identifying the missing values.  I'll give a nudge to the owner of the source database.  Hopefully, it will be updated for the next version.
