2021 Projection Season Available Now!

For 2021, we have again partnered with Dan Szymborski to bring you our projections database featuring stats and ratings generated by Dan's highly regarded ZiPS projection system.

The 2021 Projection Season database includes updated rosters that incorporate off-season player moves; the new schedule; projected batting and pitching stats for more than 2500 players, including many top prospects; and manager profiles set up with rotations, lineups, and depth charts that represent our assessment of how the players will be used during the season.

Even if you're not all that interested in playing simulated games, you may find that an investment in the DMB game and the projections database will pay off as you plan for your fantasy baseball season. You can use the game's powerful reporting system to generate dozens of standard or customizable reports using the projected statistics or the statistics from simulated seasons.

Bonus! All customers who buy the 2021 Projection Season database before October 1st, 2021 will receive the 2021 Postseason Teams database for no extra charge in early October.

Ballparks: We have added a new DMB style ballpark diagram for the 2021 season: TD Ballpark (new in 2021). This image file is available as a free download from our Park Images page.

2020 Postseason Teams database is now available!


 

The 2020 Postseason Teams database includes all of the rosters, stats, ratings, manager profiles, park factors and other details that you need to play along with the 2020 MLB Playoffs. This database is provided free of charge for customers that previously bought the 2020 Projection Season database.

For this release, all players have been updated with their actual regular season stats (as of the end of play on Friday, September 25, 2020) and the player ratings have been carried over from the 2020 projections database. In most cases, the 28-man rosters are our best guess since most teams had not announced their playoff rosters at the time of release.

This database includes the 16 teams that qualified for the 2020 MLB postseason with the Wild Card round matchups and schedule set.

From the American League: Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians, Houston Astros, Minnesota Twins, New York Yankees, Oakland Athletics, Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays.

From the National League: Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, Los Angeles Dodgers, Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers, San Diego Padres and St. Louis Cardinals.

Here's your chance to manage all these teams in postseason play to determine the 2020 World Series Champion!
