What is LVBP Estadísticas?
LVBP Estadísticas is the statistics service of the Liga Venezolana de Béisbol Profesional, the Venezuelan winter professional baseball league. It is published at stats.lvbp.com, a subdomain of the league's own site, and carries the copyright line “Liga Venezolana de Béisbol Profesional, RIF J-00771804-6”, identifying the league itself as the publisher. The service publishes under no separate masthead of its own.[1][2]
The service holds standings, daily results and the fixture calendar, club rosters, individual and collective statistics, league leaders and a cross-reference to players' records in the North American major and minor leagues. It covers the eight member clubs — Águilas, Bravos, Cardenales, Caribes, Leones, Navegantes, Tiburones and Tigres.[2] The pages credit the underlying data to TuJonrón.com, a baseball statistics supplier, while the service itself is published under league authority.[1] The competition it documents was founded on 27 December 1945 and played its first game on 12 January 1946, according to Meridiano's account of the league's origins.[3] The service is a record of results rather than a reporting outlet: it publishes no articles beyond transaction and award notices, and no coverage of any sport other than baseball.[2]
What does LVBP Estadísticas cover?
The service covers one competition in depth and nothing else. Within the Venezuelan professional league it publishes the standings table, the results and schedule grid, batting, pitching and fielding statistics at individual and club level, the leaders tables, and roster and transaction notices.[1][2] There is no coverage of Venezuelan football, basketball or any other sport, and no editorial reporting beyond transaction and award notices.
What the service is for is settlement of questions of record: which club finished where, what a player's line was in a given season, who led the league in a category. That is a different function from the reporting outlets, whose accounts of the same season are narrative. The league's history is documented separately in the press: the founding of the league on 27 December 1945 and its first game on 12 January 1946 — Magallanes beating Venezuela 5-2 at the Cerveza Caracas stadium, with Luis Aparicio senior at shortstop — are recorded in Meridiano's account of the league.[3]
What are LVBP Estadísticas's reach and standing?
The service's standing comes from being the league's own. It is published under the league's registered corporate identity and is the address from which the eight clubs' figures are issued, which makes it the source of record for the competition rather than one compilation among several.[1][2] No traffic figure for the service could be retrieved for this page.
Reach is best measured indirectly, through the audience for the competition the service documents. Eight television services carried the 2025-26 league season across free-to-air, cable and a paid streaming product, and the season's television guides were republished week by week in the general press.[4] The league is also the domestic competition that feeds the national team: Venezuela beat the United States 3-2 at loanDepot park on 17 March 2026 to win the World Baseball Classic for the first time, before a crowd of 36,490.[5] Career records established in the Venezuelan league are held here.
Since when?
The competition the service documents was founded on 27 December 1945, formalised on 2 January 1946, and played its first game on 12 January 1946 with four clubs — Cervecería Caracas, Magallanes, Venezuela and Vargas — according to Meridiano's account of the league's origins.[3] The league has since expanded to the eight clubs the statistics service covers.[2]
The date on which the online statistics service itself began could not be established from a primary source. The copyright line carried on the pages retrieved in September 2026 reads 2024, which records the assertion of copyright rather than the start of the service.[2] The service sits on stats.lvbp.com rather than on the parent site, and the credit to TuJonrón.com as statistics supplier appears on the pages as published.[1] The eight-club structure and the categories published are current as of the 2025-26 season, whose championship final was played in February 2026.[4]
Why does LVBP Estadísticas matter in Venezuela's sport?
Venezuela's principal professional sports competition is its winter baseball league, and this is where that league's figures are issued. For any question about a player's record in Venezuelan professional baseball — seasons played, club, batting or pitching line, league-leading finishes — the league's own service is the document that answers it, published under the league's registered identity.[1][2]
That matters beyond the domestic season, because the Venezuelan league is the pathway competition for players who go on to the North American majors and to the national team. The service carries the cross-reference to major and minor league records for exactly that reason.[2] When Venezuela won the World Baseball Classic on 17 March 2026, the domestic records of the players involved were held here.[5] A results source published by the governing competition is a different class of evidence from a news report of the same game.[3]
