- Short Description:
- ------------------
-
- Diamond Data is a complete baseball and softball statistics
- tracking package. 34 different statistics are maintained for
- batters, fielders (each position seperately), and pitchers. 9
- different statistics for games are maintained. Databases can be
- merged to provide season, league, or lifetime totals. No limit to
- the number of players or games that can be entered.
-
-
- Long Description:
- -----------------
-
- Diamond Data can be used to keep track of the members of a team
- throughout the season, an individual player across several
- seasons, etc. The built-in merge facility allows multiple
- databases to be "added" together to form a composite database.
- This gives the ability to have each season as an individual
- database combining them to provide lifetime statistics, or have
- each game be a seperate database and merge them to form season
- totals. Exactly how you organize your databases is up to you.
-
- Diamond Data covers the entire game - Hitting, Pitching, Fielding,
- and Base Running. Even games can be entered to keep track of how
- the season is going.
-
- Diamond Data can track the following offensive statistics:
-
- at bats batting average doubles
- game winning RBIs games hit by pitch
- hits home runs on base average
- RBIs runs sacrifices
- slugging percentage stolen bases strikeouts
- triples walks
-
- the following defensive statistics (for each position individually):
-
- assists errors fielding percentage
- putouts
-
- the following pitching statistics:
-
- earned run average earned runs hits given up
- home runs given up innings pitched losses
- runners/inning pitched runs given up saves
- strikeouts pitched walks given up winning percentage
- wins
-
- Complete definitions of all the above statistics are contained in
- an appendix within the documentation.
-
- Diamond Data also tracks the following game statistics:
-
- average errors/game average hits/game average runs/game
- date played errors (each team) hits (each team)
- home/away opponent runs (each team)
-
- The built-in report facility lets you sort each player by any
- statistic or combination of statistics and remove (or filter out)
- those players below a particular threshold in each statistic.
- Reports can be sent to the printer, screen, or a disk file.
