2058 - Error Ratings and Error Rates

[RonCo]

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 total Judy out there. Therefore a 8-5-9 defender putting up a positive number is quite surprising to me. I’ve seen so many 9-7-6 types put up negative ratings. And arm should have nothing to do with ZR for an outfielder.

Beggars can’t be choosers but this would be easier to read as a scatter plot

Zone rating looks like an even distribution and not a super strong correlation to WAR production.

At some point I should just pull this data myself but I wonder how well outfield range and ZR correlates.

Correlations

Code: Select all

	ZR	WAR	OF RNG	OF ERR	OF ARM
ZR	1.00				
WAR	0.28	1.00			
OF RNG	0.80	0.21	1.00		
OF ERR	0.21	0.33	0.21	1.00	
OF ARM	-0.02	0.24	0.00	0.27	1.00

OF Range Correlates very strongly with ZR.
