HR rates by height

By Tangotiger, 09:37 PM

Reason? Sampling bias. Who are the players 6’5” and greater? And do they appear in both sets (aging)? You only have 10% of the sample, and so, much more likely for wild swings. Create 4 groups of 25% of the ballplayers, and I’d bet you get smooth results.
