Hey guys and gals, I'm in the first stages of designing an app for minor league baseball stats, rankings, top performers, etc. the idea is that mobile users can follow players throughout the season, and based off performance, see how players compare to each other, as well as players from past years. I'm not sure how much this is going to cost me, or if I can even get enough interest to make it feasible. But if you have some ideas about what you'd like to see in an app, it would help me make a more user friendly product.

Thanks

P.S. please let me know if you prefer android or iOS platforms.

First off great idea, I'd definitely download this for my iPhone.

My suggestion would be having a "Your Players" page which you can add players that you are most interested in and track them easier instead of having to search them every day. This function is used on firstinning.com and I really like having all the players I'm interested in on one page so I don't have to check all the different box scores.

Good luck with this, I will be following your progress.

There are places to easily get minor league stats, a real winner app would be one with NCAA stats since no one really does that.

Thanks for the suggestion. One thing I am not sure of is where to pull live stats from. I like using first inning to track daily results but have no idea where they pull real time stats from. Anyone have any ideas?

That's a good point, but I gotta take baby steps. I think there is a small but definite group of people that are interested in minor league stats and would like a quick reference for players progress as well as how they compare to others.

Very cool idea. Would like something like that for my iPhone. Baseball America already as an email but stats for the whole year in one place would he awesome. MLB or MiLB doesn't already have something similar?

Only moderately related: I have several really, really good (and not overly difficult) ideas for a master sports cards app. If anyone ever wants to invest the time and money on something like that please DM me or something.
