Pitcher Role Leaderboards

Compare how teams in a conference rank by ERA for starters versus relievers. In this example, we'll filter the D1 team pitching leaderboard to the Southeastern Conference and look at each role separately.

Difficulty: Beginner · Estimated time: 3–5 minutes

What You'll Learn​

  • How to add Pitcher Role and Current Team Conference filters
  • How to sort by ERA to rank teams within a conference
  • How to switch between Starter and Reliever to compare both sides of a pitching staff

Step 1: Navigate to the Teams Pitching stats page​

Click Teams in the top navigation, then select the Pitching tab. The default view shows all D1 teams for the current season.

tip

You can sort by any column header — ERA, FIP, WHIP, K/9, BB/9, and more.

Step 2: Open the Search Filters panel​

Click Search Filters on the right side of the filter bar. We'll add two filters: Pitcher Role and Current Team Conference.

Step 3: Add the Pitcher Role filter​

Click Pitcher Role in the filter list to add it as a chip. This lets you choose between Starter and Reliever.

info

The Pitcher Role filter is especially useful in NCAA baseball where the gap between a team's rotation and bullpen can be dramatic — filtering by role isolates each side of the staff.

Step 4: Search for the Conference filter​

Type Conference in the filter panel's search box to find it quickly. Click Current Team Conference to add it.

  • Current Team Conference — the team's own conference (this is what we want)
  • vs Conference — the opponent's conference
  • Current Power 4 Team Conference — Power 4 grouping
tip

Use the search box — the NCAA baseball filter list is very long and scrolling to find a specific filter takes time.

Step 5: Filter to SEC Starters​

Set Current Team Conference to D1 Southeastern Conference and Pitcher Role to Starter. The leaderboard reloads to show only SEC teams with starter-only pitching stats.

  1. Click the Current Team Conference dropdown and select D1 Southeastern Conference
  2. Click the Pitcher Role dropdown and select Starter

Filter to SEC Starters

Step 6: Sort by ERA​

Click the ERA column header to sort ascending — best starters at the top.

Sort by ERA

Step 7: Switch to SEC Relievers​

Change the Pitcher Role dropdown from Starter to Reliever. The conference filter stays applied — only the role changes. Compare the reliever rankings to the starter rankings: teams that rank well in both have a complete staff, while a big gap between the two may signal a vulnerability.

info

You can toggle between Starter and Reliever at any time — the conference filter stays applied, making it easy to flip back and forth.

Key Takeaway​

Combining pitcher role and conference filters gives you a focused view of how teams stack up on each side of the pitching staff. Sorting by ERA (or any other stat) within a conference is a quick way to identify strengths, weaknesses, and matchup advantages for series prep.
