The New Triple Crown
Matt asks:
...It got me to thinking what would a SABRmetrician’s Triple Crown be?
Sticking with basic stats, rather than stuff like Runs Participated In (R+RBI-HR) or OPS (OBP+SLG), what are the three stats you want? The current triple crown has two counting stats and one rate stat. Going to two rate stats (OBP, SLG) would leave room for just one counting stat. Which one could that be? Alternatively, if you select just one rate stat (OBP), that would mean you’d want at least HR and ... which one?
For pitchers, it’s Wins, K, and ERA. ERA is a given. While K minus BB is preferred, that would be mixing. So, K it is. Last one, I think, is another rate stat: BB/IP.
What say you?
