Open Data & Methodology

The datasets nobody else publishes for college softball, free to download and cite.

The numbers behind Pioneer Pennant Charts, published as open data. Each page explains the method in plain language, shows the headline table, and offers the full dataset as a CSV download. Everything here is a metric Pioneer Pennant derives from public play-by-play; the official NCAA record remains the source of truth for raw season totals.

All datasets are free to use under CC BY 4.0 with attribution to Pioneer Pennant. If you cite these numbers in a story, a broadcast, or a model, link back to this page so your readers can check the method.
