Made with R (baseballR package, credit to Bill Petti) – second version of this data. Thanks for everyone who gave feedback on the last one, I took a lot into consideration! I consolidated names like José (with accent) and Jose (without accent) into one, hence why some names have changed position in the top rankings. I also identified players with one of the 10 most common names and manually added their split of AL/NL PAs/IPs for the season in focus, so these data should be more accurate with the league difference!
