Year-to-year comparisons
Good stuff from what Jeremy did here.
***
As an aside, the paragraph with this is used as background reference:
There is one skill among one group of players that has likely held constant over time—pitcher hitting. Because pitchers are selected independent of their hitting ability, any variation in performance in pitchers as hitters on a league-wide basis can be attributed to pitcher quality.
It’s not necessarily true. A few years ago, I showed how pitchers-as-batters hitting talent changed for those pitchers born before/after 1952/53. Not coincidentally, the DH rule would affect pitchers born close to those birth years. But, that’s an aside, because it doesn’t seem Jeremy actually did something with this.
