Statis-Pro Actual Cards Complete (106 pages - Aaron Judge as example)

Happy Easter to all my fellow Christians and good cheer to the rest of you!

Click here for all 2023 Batters's cards. This is a google doc, and if you do not use google docs feel free to simply email me at pudnerjohn@gmail.com and I will send the same file to you in word or PDF. It is 106 pages to print, with 9 players to a sheet.

There are three sheets of paper for each team, and if you do not see a player they may be at the bottom as "Free agents," like the teams in alphabetical order, but if you still do not see a card for a player then go to the last page and pick the card with the OPS closest to the missing player.

Here is one page of the Yankees as an example, with Aaron Judge and his 24-33 Home Run range (not to mention any he adds on Deep Drives) and 58-68 walk range.

Click here for the pitchers' cards, and for those of you new to Statis-Pro Baseball, here are directions and all you need to play Statis-Pro Baseball for free - all free though once you start playing you may find buying a Fast Action Card deck from someone on-line really makes the game flow even better.

Note on Free Agents and Replacement Cards (see below) -Most of the free agent pickups are already reflected in the cards, but a few exceptions: Frenchy Cordero is with Baltimore in the game but ended up with the Yankees, Four cards with the free agents  are now with teams - David Peralta (LAD), Donaovan Solano (MIN), Jurickson Profar (COL) and Robbie Grossman (TEX). Two players for which we did not project a card ended up with teams - AJ Pollock (SEA) and Nelson Cruz (SD). Since we do not have a card, we go to the last page and pick the range with the projected OPS (between .700 and .750 for both of them) and since they are both projected to have just a couple of steals they both get a OBR/SP of D/D. We have circled this.



Statis-Pro Batters Set in Merge Order for 2023 (Astros as Example)

As we finalize the data for the 2023 Projected Statis-Pro cards, we decided to set them up to print in alphabetical order (vs. on the sheet right now when we put in the order of suggested line-up based on the cards). 

We added a column with our suggested line-ups - so based on the cards we suggest Jose Altuve bats 2nd and plays second base, whereas if you go down to Kyle Tucker we suggest he bats 1st and starts in right field. The Astros have hit Altuve 1st, and you can as well, but Tucker's A/A speed and wanting him to have as many at bats as possible nudge him to 1st in our line-up just based on the card.

If someone does not have a number 1 through 9 by them it means we are not recommending them for the starting line-up, thus "Res" for "Reserve."

The one other variable is Jake Meyers, "Bat: vLHP" meaning we do suggest starting him against left-handed pitchers. We don't overcomplicate by listing a left-handed order, but if you look up to Michael Brantley you see his 0.777 OPS is strong and actually very strong against right handed pitchers because his "13/87" means he turns all 87 or 88 numbers on either his card or the pitchers card into a single with runners all advancing two bases.

The flip side is that he is a much worse batter against left handed pitching, with the 13 to the left of the slash meaning he strikes out on an 11-13 on his card or the pitcher's card, thus we suggest Meyers replaces him in left field against left-handed pitching.

We also list extra cards to give you a quick card for any player that joins the team during the season for which we do not have a card created. Basically just use a new players OPS to pick the proper replacement card.


If you need a quick new card for a player not in our set, pick the closest OPS.

Statis-Pro Pitchers Ranges Set for 2023 Projected Cards

 The second of three steps to completing our Statis-Pro Baseball cards is complete, as we now have the actual ranges set up on the pitchers' sheets. Below are the pitchers' cards for the Atlanta Braves and the Baltimore Orioles. Note that in the far right certain teams this year have an adjustment to the batters' cards they face of either turning the highest HR to an out, or the lowest out to a HR based on the ballpark in which their projected stats are based. 



Statis-Pro Baseball Batters Updated with Ranges for 2023 Projected Performances

 Click for the updated Statis-Pro Baseball Sheets. For those of you who come to these pages for Statis-Pro Baseball rather than Value Add Basketball, we are one step closer to the actual player cards.

That link is the same one we put up earlier with only the end of each range, so we have been through and put the entire range into the cells - still proofing for occasional mistakes. As an example, see the image below of the Tampa batters, since they are 7-0 this season in real baseball. 

We list players in a suggested line-up order first, then the rest are alphabetical. This sets up the data for when we merge these to actual cards. The pitchers' cards are still in the format only showing the end of each range, so still working on that.

Note we put our suggested line-up order and positions on each team, so we would have Randy Arozarena batting first and playing left field, but you are free to use any order and positions you want. The fielding figures for the game are to the far right of the sheet with CD (Clutch Defense) 5 always being a great fielder, and CD 1 the worst.

Women's Basketball Cards Almost Done as Men's Tipoff Looms

We already added the San Diego State and UConn 2023 Value Add Basketball Cards as we await the real tip for the title.

We have also almost finished the four women's teams we are adding this season - the first cards for each of the teams. The red are our starters, the black the subs.

Pretty interesting triangle of results this year from two of these teams and South Carolina (who was not added since we have their 2017 champs).

In the real season:

South Carolina 88, LSU 64

Iowa 77, South Carolina 73

LSU 102, Iowa 85

As you can see from the cards, LSU is dominant on the boards and blocking shots.

We still need to add the layup and defense ranges and then will produce these cadrs.

Caitlin Clark Leads Iowa to Final - and 4 New Value Add Basketball Women's All-Time Great Team

Caitlin Clark became the first woman to score 40 points in consecutive March Madness games to toppled a South Carolina team some thought rivaled the great UConn teams of 2010 and 2016 for best ever. We already featured 20 all-time great women's teams in the Value Add Basketball Game.

This tournament gave us four first time teams to add to the game and bring us to a round 24. We haven't completed the complete cards yet, but we calculated the first part and have laid out those numbers below. On the 8-sided die Clark gets the ball on a 3, 6 or 7. If the ball is not stolen or shot blocked by the opposing small forward, On the 20-sided die, Clark hits a 3-pointer on a 1-3 (below we just list the top number in the range), then a 2-pointer on a 4-8, gets fouled and takes two free throwsn on a 9-11, misses a 3-pointers on a 12-26 and misses a 2-pointer on a 17-20. The number to the far right indicates that once he goes to the line on  a 9-11 on the first roll, then the two free throws are good on a 1-17 or she misses on an 18-20.

We will calculate the other parts of the card - rebounds, steals, etc. and add to the set of cards, but wanted to preview these.

In addition to Iowa, we will add LSU, Maryland and Virginia Tech 2023 squads.
