I've recompiled my big correlations-list using the team data for the entire 2023 season. This tells you what stats are useful measurements and predictors of offensive production (wOBA, OPS) and which are not (strikeout percentage, contact percentage).
just finished readin No Country for Old Men and unfortunately my brain is permanently stuck in McCarthy dialogue mode. ain't good for a fella to be settin there n talkin and thinkin like that.
yeah i don't trust you with these yet, maybe give it a couple weeks 🤣
Joe Burrow is taking a sack once every 25 dropbacks. That's 30% better than the NFL average, on pace for his lowest (by a longshot) ever. It's also an excellent figure for the kind of offense they run, which is especially demanding of OL.
And yes @PaulHembo I know it’s “out of 100”—doesn’t mean it always “makes sense
you win, i've never seen a baseball player successfully sprint after a ball and throw it 70 feet on target

Chandler Simpson just slapped a soft ground ball at the shortstop with a runner on 1st, beat the throw out, then got caught stealing. But Traditional Baseball Fans will tell you that was better than striking out.
I play recreational men's baseball and this guy wouldn't be the best pitcher I face in any given year

Smoltz: Miz doesn't "paint."
Also Smoltz: Miz leverages those tiny areas at the upper and lower edges of the zone.
