Expected RBI, by lineup slot

By Tangotiger, 03:25 PM

This is what Tony Perez’s RBI totals would be, based on where he hit in the lineup (and had average baserunners, for those lineup slots):

1 1,147
2 1,299
3 1,523
4 1,619
5 1,559
6 1,471
7 1,452
8 1,435
9 1,426

I posted this last year, but for those who didn’t see it:

http://tangotiger.net/retrosheet/reports/runs_rbi_by_lineup.html

And, this is one of the most important links to have, as it is basically the core of the run expectancy chart, which itself is the core of the win expectancy chart, and therefore, is the core for understanding baseball strategies:
http://tangotiger.net/retrosheet/reports/chance_scoring_by_base_out_retrosheet_years_since1993.html

Learn those numbers, memorize them.  They are that important.  You will see a pattern there, which basically says that if your chances of scoring is “1x” with 2 outs, then it’s “2x” with 1 out and “3x” with 0 outs.  Remember that.  ("Whoever sets up the meeting is the traitor.  Remember that.")
