Scoring
We found a way to value player's contributions to run creation and run prevention in a Bill James manner that correlates to the game as much as possible. James' research concluded that 47% / 17% / 36% of wins comes from hitting / fielding / pitching, respectively. You will see these ratios in the breakdown of the stats in ranges of players.
The batting stats were largely based on the old metric Runs Created, but it was tweaked to reflect more consistent hitters who have higher AVG / OBP. The weights for batting are:
At-Bat, AB: -10
Hit, H: 10
Single, 1B: 24
Double, 2B: 36
Triple, 3B: 48
Homerun, HR: 60
Walk, BB: 20.4
Grounded-into-Double Play, GIDP: -18
Hit-by-pitch, HBP: 20.4
Sacrifice Fly, SF: 6
Sacrifice Hit, SH: 6
Stolen Base, SB: 6
Caught Stealing, CS: -12
Fielding was the toughest one to mimic as players may be open to multiple positions. In the end, we kept eligibility at 20 games played in this season and last season for any one position. Defensive weights had to be different per position though.
Catchers
Error, E: -32
Games Played, GP: 4.8
Corner Infielders
Assist, A: 4.48
E: -32
Putout, PO: 0.48
Middle Infielders
A: 1.28
E: -32
PO: 2.4
Outfielders
A: 6.4
E: -32
GP: 4.8
There are no defensive points awarded to players in the Utility position or for pitchers. Pitching stats are much more simple and rely on four metrics: Ground Balls, Walks, Home Runs Allowed, and Strikeouts. The stats are designed so there is no bias given to control nor power pitchers.
Pitchers scoring
(S: sabermetric indicator, A: actual performance indicator):
GB (S) +1.5 points
HR (A) -7.5 points
BB (S, A) -3.25 points
K (S, A), 5.25 points
IP (A) 6.42
ER (A) -3 points
H (A) -1.5 points
IP Limit - 65
Innings pitched for each team will be monitored by members of the EC.
A 3 strike rule for innings overages is structured as follows
- 1st and 2nd time offense - loss of points over 65
- 3rd time offense - loss of points over 65 plus an additional 100 points for the week
- 4th time and after - loss of all pitching scoring for that week
