Simple Zone Rating

By Tangotiger

Colin gives us his fielding system. One thing I’d like to see is to have this data (plus the OF and C ones) normalized so that the plays made adds up to the total number of outs made:

1B:
.85*A + .08*PO
2B:
.85*A
SS:
.85*A
3B:
.90*A+.06*PO

That is, perhaps some team should have .86 or .83, etc.
