About this page

One major-league player published here was born in China, and he appeared between 2016 and 2022. None appeared in 2026.

The best single season belongs to Austin Brice, 0.1 WAR in 2022. Austin Brice has been in the majors longest of anyone here, since 2016.

Austin Brice has thrown the most strikeouts, 160. The hardest ball anyone from here has struck came off Austin Brice's bat at 87.2 mph, in 2017. These are totals over the seasons published here rather than whole careers: a player who debuted before 2016 arrives mid-career, and his numbers start where the archive does.

Country here means country of birth, taken from each player's biographical record. It is not nationality and not who a player has represented internationally — the three disagree often enough to matter, and birthplace is the one this data actually holds. Every rate statistic and every dbWAR figure is computed from play-by-play using constants measured from each season's own data, so the numbers are era-correct without being copied from anywhere.
