Q&A by SG I noticed a couple of questions in some of the comments sections so I thought I'd answer them here. From Anonymous: Mo quietly (to me, at least) had the lowest K-rate season of his entire career and still managed to get his 4th best season ERA+. SG, from the hip, do you know how this season compares to other seasons in regards to Mo's league adj. K-rate? From the hip? Nope, but here you go after some calculations. ![]() In this chart, BB+ and HR+ are the league average pitcher's HRs allowed/batters faced divided by an individual pitcher's numbers and multiplied by 100. A rate of 100 is exactly average, less than 100 is worse than average, greater than 100 is better than average. For K+, it's the individual pitcher's strikeouts/BF divided by the league's and multiplied by 100. Mo's K rate was very low this season, but his BB rate was the best of his career. Mo's not young, so any decline in any statistics can certainly be a cause for some concern, but I wouldn't worry much. As you can see, his K rate seems to fluctuate pretty greatly from season to season. From Twentyseven: Hey, SG. I just want to see where Jorge graded out compared to other catcher soverall. Defensively, it seemed like he had a really good year, and offensively, he had the best season since what, 2003. Could you show me some stats on this? No problem Twentyseven, here you go. ![]() In this chart, it's the same thing as the numbers I posted last week. BR are position-adjusted batting runs above average using linear weights, DR are the defensive runs above/below average for catchers. The catcher formula doesn't use zone rating, it uses SB, CS, PB, and errors, all compared to league averages. Total/162 just pro-rates the numbers over 1440 defensive innings and 650 plate appearances. So Posada was the 2nd most valuable catcher in baseball last year. He had a great bounceback season from what looked to be the beginning of a decline. If anyone has any other questions ask away. --posted at 9:12 AM by SG / |
