If only Bikini had managed to sweep Hawaii rather than split.

I have a fairly extensive spreadsheet on BBA history that I used to use mostly to describe how the competitive environment was changing. If you're interested, and if I get some time when I get home I'll see if I can clean it up and drop it here.

Depending on how you view game 163, either Charlotte or Vegas is going home with a 90 win season and no playoffs. As competitive as the Brewster is that has only happened once since 2018. | Team | Year | League | W | |:----:|:----:|:------:|:--:| | SAC | 1995 | BBA | 93 | | LOU | 1997 | BBA | 95 | |...

Yes. His ZR was a pretty ok 0.2 in 34 starts (48 games). So kind of better than league average. That's workable, but I admit I struggle to call that "good." He was a + in AAA.

Here's an interesting table, though. Again with the sample size question, and with the idea that player ratings could be weirdly scattered inside rating zones...but this has a weird hump in the middle zones.

Here’s the guy I had in mind when I was talking on the podcast. He’s only got a 5 error rating but he’s played solid defense in the BBA in albeit somewhat limited sample sizes. There are 66 players who have had at least 100 Plays made (+ Errors) on balls in zone in center field. Here are the worst ...

Yep. Even real life folks say that things like ZR and whatnot are not stable with a full season of data. Because. Random.

Note the error rate of 11s jump up. But the jump represents exactly one more error over the entire league.

Note that RF error rates are half those of SS just across the board.

Here are current-day RF in the BBA: | OF Error | E | BIZ | Rate | |:-----------:|:---:|:-----:|:-----:| | 3 | 0 | 73 | 0.00% | | 4 | 4 | 356 | 1.12% | | 5 | 18 | 1132 | 1.59% | | 6 | 36 | 2032 | 1.77% | | 7 | 38 | 2964 | 1.28% | | 8 | 26 | 1755 | 1.48% | | 9 | 5 | 351 | 1.42% | | 10 | 9 | 1450 | 0.6...

There's also the Long Beach water theory!

That was a good look, too. Something else that strikes me, though, is to wonder if error rates are also separated by position. In other words, does a SS and a 2B with the same error rating make error at different rates?

McQuade's numbers were pretty good over the years, but better at 2B than SS.

Welcome aboard shoeless II!!!

And here's a plot of BBA SS Error Rates vs. their Error Rating, for all BBA SS with more than 300 BIZ. (With a polynomial trend line, for those who care)

So I was listening to the latest Brewster Babies podcast when I heard the guys raise the Ron Signal – in this case, a question about error rates and how valuable the error rating is. The real answer was, well, I knew but didn’t know. So I went to the league file and pulled some data directly from th...

Inonu is one of those many young players who haven't really budged much, and that make me ponder the development settings.

Congrats to a great career. The Hall is always dicey, but it seems to be even dicer these days.
