If you can avoid using Linear Weights, and you can use BaseRuns, for pitchers, do so
Linear Weights for pitchers.
You can probably continue the conversation here:

Thank you. Sorry for the offtopic comment, but it just seems like something that ought to be readily available. Will check out that other thread.

Matt #1, for what you seem to be looking for, maybe you should try (2*TB - H)/ (AB - H) . Quick and simple.

I don’t know where else to ask this so maybe someone will know here. I’ve been trying to track this down for a few days now.
Is there anywhere on the baseball internet universe to find data on runners Left on Base. People seem to be mostly OK with viewing RBI on a percentage basis, but of course that will still underrate players who draw walks with men on base. If the run doesn’t score, it counts as a “fail” regardless of whether an out was made or not. And the out being made or not is a big deal. If we can’t get people to care about on base percentage with men on base, can we sneak it in in the form of “Runners left stranded.” I feel like this would really be the other side of the “opportunity” coin. If RBI is a raw count of “success,” runners stranded (not just 1-RBI%) should be the raw count of “failure.”
