About Raw Sports Vault

What this is

Raw Sports Vault is a premium baseball data library covering 2010 through 2026, with historical records dating back to 1871. More sports are coming in future releases. Today the catalog is seven bundles of pre-cleaned, pre-enriched datasets ranging from $59 (CSV/Excel of the historical record) to $449 (every dataset in every format, including a pre-loaded SQLite database).

The product isn't the data — the data is public. The product is what we did to it: cleaning, deduplication, schema standardization, leakage-checked feature engineering, and packaging in formats you can actually use.

If you've ever spent a weekend trying to merge a historical archive with pitch-by-pitch tracking and an odds feed and gave up, that's the problem we solved.

What's in the library

• Hundreds of cleaned baseball tables today — 27 historical tables (records dating back to 1871), pitch-by-pitch tracking 12 seasons, enriched player stats, all major odds sources, weather, umpires, lineups, and ~50 derived datasets. New sports added in future releases.
• Pre-computed derived features — career WAR cumulative, head-to-head pitcher×batter matchups (637,696 unique pairs), velocity fatigue curves by pitch-count bucket, batter platoon splits, umpire K-boost, and more.
• Deep historical coverage — core data 2010–2026 with leakage-aware joins (rolling stats use shift-1 to exclude the current game, prior-season stats join on season - 1); historical records back to 1871 for the foundational tables.
• Updated annually — every November, every package is refreshed. The latest version is always available at current pricing.

Where the data comes from

Every byte we ship is sourced from a public origin. The work product we charge for is what's done in between: cleaning, joining, deduplicating, enriching, and reformatting. Sources:

• Historical baseball public records — comprehensive batting, pitching, fielding, teams, salaries, awards, and postseason results, 1871–2025.
• Retrosheet — game logs and play-by-play.
• Baseball Savant / Statcast — pitch-by-pitch 2015–2026, leaderboards (sprint speed, OAA, EV/barrels, expected stats, percentiles, catcher framing).
• FanGraphs — season-level batter and pitcher statistics, Stuff+, velocity trends.
• Baseball Reference / Sean Smith WAR — career WAR for batters and pitchers.
• The Odds API + SBR + public sportsbook archives — historical moneylines, totals, line movement.
• Visual Crossing / public weather feeds — game-day weather aligned to venue + date.
• MLB Stats API — game logs, lineups, umpire assignments.
• TeamRankings, ActionNetwork-equivalent feeds — supplemental team-level metrics.
