Template:Baseballstats/doc

Usage

To use this template, copy and paste this text to a baseball player's external links section:

{{Baseballstats |mlb= |espn= |br= |fangraphs= |brm= |retro= |almanac= }}

Add the page ID's after the equals sign to properly direct the links that you desire to have.

If an item's data is available in Wikidata under the properties listed to the side or below, it will show them automatically, with an Edit sign to edit it if needed. If an ID is provided, the edit sign will not show up, and the template's parameter will override what is on Wikidata.

If you do not specify an ID, and it is not on Wikidata, the site will not be shown.

Example

Example for Chris Young (outfielder):

{{Baseballstats |mlb= 455759 |espn= 6514 |br= y/youngch04 |fangraphs= 3882 |brm= young-001chr |retro= Y/Pyounc004 |almanac= youngch04 }}

results in:

• Career statistics from MLB · ESPN · Baseball Reference · Fangraphs · Baseball Reference (Minors) · Retrosheet · Baseball Almanac

To find a player's ID, find the player's page on a website and locate a string of numbers or letters in the URL similar to the ones above. That is the player's ID.
