Re: Re: You Have to Hit the Ball to Win
One useful stat that I used to like to calculate when I played alot of Strat-O-Matic was a statistic I called "unproductive out percentage". Unproductive outs are the following...
* Strike Outs
* Pop Ups
* Lineouts
* Force Outs (In Strat these were GB-B's)
* Double Play Balls (In Strat these were GB- A's)
* Flyball C's (Shallow flys were no runners can advance)
I would imagine that most of today's players have unproductive out ratios that are well north of 50% and in many case approach 60%. That's pretty sad. Bunting may not seem to be very exciting but it's a heck of alot more useful than a strikeout or a pop fly when you have a runner on first with no outs.
because none of these results in the runners moving or
