Clubhouse Confidential - Glossary
Good stuff!
There are some tiny mistakes, and I’ll email Kenny tonight about it. A couple like (IP/9) * BB should be BB / (IP/9)… that is BB per 9 innings. Or “BABIP can used for hitters as well as pitchers. “ when really it should be “mostly for pitchers, and somewhat for hitters”. In FIP, the “/IP” should apply to the whole thing, which is obvious of course, and no one would do it otherwise. UZR is MGL not Fangraphs.
Other than those little nits aside, a fantastic job really of explaining it as simply as possible. I was impressed with the wOBA explanation. Whoever on Kenny’s team worked on this: great job!
