Defense Game Log

[Sam Morley]

Does anybody know where to find individual player game logs for advanced defensive statistics? I couldn't find it in fangraphs. They obviously update season total advanced defense stats daily, but don't have defensive stat game logs.

Also, is there an infield version of statcast's catch probability (for outfielders)?

Unfortunately, I don't think there are any advanced defensive game logs.  More accurately, it would probably have to be a play log, but I agree that such a thing would be interesting!

Gotta believe they're working on it. That would be interesting.

Sort of like the highlights we used to see on TWIB.

Where are people doing their analysis of Statcast info?

 

I was trying (and failing) to lookup the catch probability of the play on Monday night when Buxton laid out for that ball, that he didn't catch.

 

I think it was Gomez's double in the 3rd or Napoli's double in the 2nd.

May have found it....

Looks to me like it was the Napoli double. 

 

They gave that a 27% catch probability?

Perhaps not? That's Hit Probability, and it's based solely on launch angle and exit velocity:

Catch Probability would involve distance and hangtime, so it takes into account the location/direction of the ball and the fielder:
