MLB Arbitration Analyzer
The MLB Arbitration Analyzer estimates player arbitration figures by combining past performance, current statistics, and projected outcomes with contract status. The tool generates data-driven recommendations for team offers, highlights potential player asks, and calculates the midpoint between the two. It also projects a player’s 2026 surplus value, based on ZiPS WAR forecasts and the team’s potential offer.

2024 Salary-Per-Win Visualization
This visualization presents a straightforward yet powerful analysis of how much each MLB team spent per win over the 2024 season. By comparing salary costs against team performance, it provides insight into which teams achieved the greatest value for their investment, making it easier to assess efficiency in spending and strategic team-building approaches across the league.

The resulting ranking highlights players providing the most value relative to their cost, helping to identify efficient spending and high-value contracts across teams.
