College to minors translation

By Tangotiger, 12:02 PM

Great stuff. This time, a look at college GB/FB stats and comparing to the same pitchers in the minors.

The correlation thing comes up all the time. You can’t report the r, without also reporting the average IP or PA in the sample. And, if you are going to do the minors-to-minors to compare, the average IP of your college-to-minors should match the minors-to-minors. Therefore, set a threshhold at the bottom and at the top.
