Matchup-driven baseball analytics

Baseball is a game of matchups. Handedness, park factors and the specific pitcher a hitter faces shape expected production more than almost any other sport. Benchlytics puts that matchup context front and center.

From lineup slot to bullpen situation, we fold in the details that separate a strong daily spot from an ordinary one.

What we cover

  • Hitters and pitchers
  • Handedness splits and projected lineup slot
  • Park factors and game environment

What we model

  • Batter-versus-pitcher handedness matchups
  • Park factors and venue effects
  • Recent form and role
  • Projected lineup position and opportunity
