Please read these important disclaimers before using Baseball IQ's analytics and recommendations.

AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

Baseball IQ uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms to generate lineup recommendations, matchup analyses, win probabilities, and other insights. You acknowledge and agree that:

  • AI-generated recommendations are suggestions only and should not be the sole basis for coaching decisions.
  • AI systems can make errors, and we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any AI output.
  • Past performance data and statistical analysis do not guarantee future results.
  • Baseball is inherently unpredictable, and many factors influence game outcomes beyond statistical analysis.
  • You are solely responsible for all coaching decisions made for your team.
  • We are not liable for any outcomes resulting from the use of our recommendations.

Rankings & Statistics Disclaimer

Our PitchRank system and team rankings are based on Elo-style algorithms that calculate relative team strength. Regarding these rankings:

  • Rankings are calculated based on available data and may not reflect all games played.
  • Rankings are relative measures and should not be interpreted as absolute assessments of team quality.
  • Data accuracy depends on the quality of information submitted by users and third-party sources.
  • We do not verify the accuracy of user-submitted or imported data.
  • Rankings may change as new data is processed and algorithms are updated.
  • Cross-classification comparisons (e.g., comparing rec league to travel ball) have inherent limitations.
