All the fielding systems
Here’s jinaz reporting on correlations of all the fielding systems known to man, including the system that you guys contribute toward:
The Fans’ Scouting Report. This was the big surprise for me. While the hit location statistics were better correlated to one another than they were to the Fans, FSR data does pretty darn well for itself. Remember, these are data that a) are based on the subjective rankings of fans, many of whom are no better trained than I am to evaluate defense visually, and b) are weighted and converted into +/- runs by regression equations that I built upon a dataset that has rampant collinearity problems. So for it to even come close to the hit-location statistics, not to mention being a better match than the DT’s, was pretty exciting.
And here’s part 1.
