Scouting Fielding
What I really like about the BIS Fielding Good / Bad Plays is that they look at each play, one at a time, and try to categorize it. They’ve got a list of some 80 categories that they put each play in. I’d put that into data recording. This data is the lifeblood of saberists, and the reason that I really appreciate anyone who evaluates each play one at a time. It’s why scouting, true scouting, is valuable: they see what the numbers don’t see.
The next step is to figure out if there’s any bias in their recordings. Until this is done, the data can only be half-useful. Which is still quite useful.
