| 10/22/2020 | Plus-Arm Question | ragingsol |
The original post was borne from importing the entire 2020 class and being surprised that zero catchers imported with a plus-arm.
Also, there were ten OF that had a plus-arm upon import, but none of those OF (Jeff McNeil, Chris Taylor, Dylan Moore, Jurickson Profar, Whit Merrifield, Mauricio Dubon, Nick Solak, Yoshi Tsutsugo, Dee Gordon, Tzu-Wei Lin) were actually among the 2020 MLB leaders in OF assists. Each of the listed players accumulated their assists as part-time IF.
All of this about the OF assists is already known, but the catchers having zero plus-arm was a surprise. I recalled the 40% from somewhere (the blog post), but with zero catchers importing as plus-arm, I thought I was missing something.
Problem was solved for the Ultimate PC Championship (UPCC) database by the following baseball-reference pages:
Catchers, at the "Player Fielding - C":

OFs:

Don't know if the master 2020 database has the OFs from that baseball-reference page as plus-arms, my assumption is that the master PC database has the OF/IF players that import with plus-arms, most of whom didn't have too many OF assists.
Not asking for anything to change, no complaint about plus-arms; just sharing information. No idea how to tie-in the actual data for OF assists to imported players. |
