Okay, so I wanted to look up Jamie Arnold’s stats from his time at FSU the other day. It wasn’t some big research project, just curious, you know?
First thing I did was just open up a search engine. Pretty standard stuff. I typed in something simple like ‘jamie arnold fsu baseball stats’ or maybe just ‘jamie arnold florida state stats’. Hit enter and waited to see what popped up.
Got a bunch of results, as you’d expect. Some looked like news articles, others pointed towards official sports sites.
Digging In
My first stop is usually the official university athletics site if I can find it easily. So I scanned the results for the FSU Seminoles official page. Clicked on that, hoping they had a clear section for player stats, maybe historical records.
Navigated around their site for a bit. Sometimes these uni sites are great, sometimes they bury the older stuff. Found the baseball section, looked for rosters or stats archives. It took a few clicks, definitely wasn’t front and center.
While I was doing that, I also opened tabs for some of the big national sports statistics sites. You know the ones, ESPN, NCAA’s own stats portal, maybe some dedicated college sports stats sites. Figured I’d cover my bases.
Finding the Numbers
It turned out the FSU site did have some info, but I also found good stuff on one of the major sports stats aggregators. They usually lay it out season by season which is helpful.
- Checked the official FSU athletics page: Found some data there, maybe season summaries.
- Looked at major sports stats websites: These often have detailed game logs or yearly totals比較方便.
- Compared sources: Sometimes numbers vary slightly, so I tried to cross-reference between a couple of spots to feel confident.
Took a little bit of clicking back and forth. I wasn’t looking for anything super obscure, mostly his pitching record, ERA, strikeouts, that kind of thing for his FSU career. Eventually, I pieced together a pretty complete picture from a couple of reliable sources.
So yeah, that was the process. Just some basic searching, checking official sources, and looking at the big stat sites. Got the numbers I needed in the end. Nothing too complicated, just required a bit of digging through the usual spots online.
