Meta-Primer: BA, OBP, SLG, OPS, LWTS, and wOBA

By Tangotiger, 01:33 PM

A great description here.  Remember when I said you need to have a thread to the story?  This fellow had a story to tell, and told it well.

I *think* that’s one of those sites that steals content from other sites.  (Sorry if I’m wrong.)

The original link is here: http://www.southsidesox.com/2010/2/19/1317374/2010/2/19/1317374/metaprimer-woba

Also, it’s a phenomenal article.  That’s how I think primers should be written.  Not “what is wOBA” but “why wOBA”.
