We just launched. Comp coverage is still building, so some fair-value numbers are preliminary — here's how we handle that.

Players (7,949)

Every batter and pitcher we track, from Triple-A down to the complex leagues. Rank them, cut them down, and turn any row over for its card and its market.

Facts about his card, not about him. A player can be excellent and have nothing listed.

Showing players who meet all 7 of these:

Big movers — Playing better lately than they were — a momentum score of 60 or more.

Breakout signal — Measurably better across two full seasons, while young for the level or after a promotion. A hot month is not a breakout, and neither is the momentum score on its own.

Knocking on the door — Close enough to a big-league call-up to matter — readiness 70 or more. A call-up is usually when a card jumps.

Young for their level — Roughly two years or more younger than the typical player at that level. Being young for the competition is the single best sign we have.

Listed standouts — Scores 75 or better all round AND has a card listed right now, so there is something to act on. The listing half is a fact about the market, not about the player.

Catalyst — Something happened to him that we can evidence — a promotion, a call-up, an injury, a trade. Every sourced event we hold today is a level change read from the two official stat lines; dated events join as they are logged, and the row prints the event and how we know it.

Strong and young — Scores 70 or better all round, is roughly two years or more young for his level, and is not measurably fading. Three bars that already sit on the row, asked for at once — it is not a fourth score and it is not a verdict on his card.

Who leads each ranking

The top three on each axis, over every player we track — not the cut above. Three of these rank the ballplayer; the fourth ranks the whole purchase, and they routinely disagree.

Hottest bats

Hitters whose numbers are climbing fastest.

Arms closest to the majors

Pitchers nearest a call-up. Ranked by how close they are, not by form — a call-up is the moment that reprices a card.

Knocking on the door

Closest to playing in the majors — cards often peak around the call-up.

Who had a big game

Last night's standout lines, for the players we track. Real box scores — nothing here is written by us.

Showing 6 of 151 big games from Saturday. One good night is the earliest signal there is, and the noisiest — it is a reason to look, not a reason to buy.
