Simple Fielding Runs

By Tangotiger, 04:38 PM

Dan Fox comes up with his Retrosheet fielding system. Last year, Chone also came up with his Retrosheet fielding system. Hopefully, jinaz will come up with a comprehensive comparison of UZR, PMR, RZR, Fans, Fox, and Chone.

In this year’s THT Annual, you will see parts of my version which uses Retrosheet, but no zones at all. In my case, it’s not useful year-by-year, but over a period of years.
