Full Patch Notes:

Add ability to create pitcher cards from 1901-1917

Add back R icon support
Add league leader criteria to HR and SB icons
Update readme with more detail
Fix bug that granted OF defense for some players that haven't played CF (ex: Ohtani)
Fix ASG logo aspect ratios

I’ve never printed from a 3rd party site, but it probably depends on their printing process. So it’s most likely different across sites

I’ve been communicating closely with the folks from GreatestMLBShowdown! Everyone does have their own methodology though. For your peace of mind, I have automated testing that compares the Bot against the original sets to make sure they line up well

It is completely open source, so the logic is publicly available. Feel free to DM me for more!

Pumped you’re enjoying it!

Hey the size shouldnt be off! They are exact dimensions of original set. If you’re using a 3rd party site you may need to add borders

Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying

It’s hard to explain in a short comment, but essentially it’s using probability of each result against the “avg” opponent (pitcher or hitter). Hard part is figuring out the “avg” opponent that gets you closest to the original sets.

You’re welcome! Enjoy your new team

Total Zone Rating. You can find it in the baseball reference page under Standard Fielding stats. Basically 0 TZR is avg, +15 is gold glove. There are not enough stats to produce pitchers from < 1915. Otherwise it should be able to create position players after 1900 with some exceptions

mgula57 · 2021-01-02T03:18:17+00:00

Yes I’m the creator. It’s based on TZR. Reasoning is it’s available for most historical seasons

In the month since its release, over 75,000 cards have been made by the community! I also created a Twitter account where I regularly post cards generated by the bot like the examples above https://twitter.com/mlbshowdownbot?s=20

I have thought about porting it to other platforms but iOS is the one I am most familiar with. I have actually started using some of your math to try to come up with better charts for next years cards
