BASEBALLNEBRASKA PROSPECTS - Welcome to the BaseballNebraska Prospects Database |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Coaches & Scouts: Welcome to the BaseballNebraska Prospects Database. The data displayed below comes directly from the Prospect Registration Form that players fill out at the time that they register for the Prospects service. We do not independently confirm the accuracy of this information, however, Prospects are asked to certify to us that the information that they submit is accurate as of the time they register. Additionally, for players under 18, parents also sign the form and attest to the accuracy of the information provided. But, as always, "buyer beware."
Most of the column headings below are self-explanatory, however, a couple of the headings could use some further explanation. The heading "Pos. 1" and "Pos. 2." refer to the Prospect's identification of his primary defensive position and his secondary defensive position. The column entitled "Pitching?" provides the Prospect's response to the following question: "Do you desire to be a pitcher at the collegiate level?" The prospects response options are: (1) yes, pitch + position, (2) yes, pitch only and (3) no, position only.
As you can see, the width of the table exceeds the screen width. A horizontal slider bar at the bottom of the web page allows you to scroll horizontally to view all information.
1. Sort. The data can be sorted by any Field (heading) in ascending or descending order. For example, if you want to sort the data by height with the tallest players listed first, put your cursor on the "Ht" heading and click on the black triangle that appears, which will bring up a menu with the following options: Sort, Group, Filter, and Search. Hover your cursor over "Sort" until you see the "Asc" and "Desc" options. Select the "Desc" option to sort the Prospects by Height in descending order (tallest to shortest).
2. Group. The data can be grouped together by any of the criteria represented by the various headings so that you can view the Prospects in groups. For example, let's say that you would like to group the Prospects according to Graduation Year. Put your mouse on the "Grad Yr" heading and select "Group" (either 'ascending' or 'descending'). All of the Prospects will be combined into groups according to their Graduation Year. The same could be done for "1st Def. Pos.," "School" or any other criteria.
3. Filter. Above the Heading row, you will see a horizontal white box following the word "Filter." If you click in that white box, you can filter the list by any response that a Prospect may have selected on the Registration Form. You will see that the responses are listed below each bold Heading in that list. You can use this filter to screen the data by any ONE criteria. (To screen the data by more than one criteria, you will use the "Search" process described below.) For example, if you wish to see a listing of all players who desire to pitch and play a position at the collegiate level, select the criteria "Yes, pitch + position" under the bold "Pitch?" heading.
4. Search. The Search function allows you to search by a single criteria or multiple criteria. It is located next to the "Filter" function above the column Headings. When you click on "Search" you will see various "operators" above each heading with a white box below. You can enter the search value that you are looking for in the white box and then select the desired operator to create any custom query. For example, if you wanted to find all left-handed pitchers in the Class of 2009 who are 6 feet or taller, you would do the following: (i) in the "Pitcher?" column, select the "contains" operator and enter "yes" in the white box, (ii) in the "Ht" column, select the operator "contains" and enter "6" in the white box, and (iii) in the "Grad Year" column, select the "is" operator and enter "2009" in the white box and then click on the "Search" button. You can set all of your search criteria at the same time, or you can start by searching by just one of the criteria and then continue to refine the results until you find what you're looking for.
Happy data mining. If you have any questions or problems, please contact us at admin@metropreps.com or (402) 871-7244.
