Converting PITCHf/x into performance stat lines

By Tangotiger, 04:23 PM

Great job by Paul in finding correlations between some PITCHf/x data and performance stat lines.

A couple of things I’d change is make it GB/(GB+FB), rather than ratio. I’ve talked about this alot.

Use K/BFP, not K/9IP. I’d also suggest trying an additional correlation against (K-BB)/BFP.
