Always fun to read the Blazer approach.

Correlations OF Range Correlates very strongly with ZR.

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. My experience has been that it’s very, very difficult to get positive ZR in CF. This is in part because I refuse to play a ...

Here's the running list of who the #1 SP in the league has been on a daily basis. Note that Hector Silva was #1 between years, but I removed days to account for off-season. | Pitcher | Start | End | Days | |-------------|:---------:|:---------:|:----:| | C. Thompson | 4/1/2057 | 4/5/2057 | 5 | | S. ...

Since this is the end of the season, I'll post the entire list of ranked SP (guys with over 300 points). Bottom line: Hector Silva is back to the top of the table, with Bob Andersson close behind. Hasegawa, Corfield, and Stuart are all within ten points of each other, then we get to Kawano, Iwamoto,...

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 | |...

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.
