  This post will focus specifically on the correlations between a team’s on-base percentage (OBP) and their win percentage (tmW-L%) , as well as their on-base plus slugging plus (OPS+) and their win percentage.

  “We planned this, Willie and me. Not everyone knows that we’ve been pushing each other for years to reach this goal. Our goal.” –Jordan Ledezma

• Willie Barrios and the Search for the Greatest Season Ever by a Starting Pitcher

  By mblmlb on 05/22/2020 • ( 1 )

  

  Willie’s 2020 season got me thinking – how many times in history has a starting pitcher thrown at least 200 innings, and had a WHIP of 1.00 or below? And, given what Fangraphs has to say about WHIP, how do each of those pitcher’s OBP-against compare across those seasons?

  Drafting a team that lead the league in runs scored, on-base percentage, OPS & wOBA is no small feat (IMO). What do you think?

  I was already questioning my decisions to draft two 30+ year old players so early, but quality every day players were starting to disappear.

• Raul Diaz Has The Best Rookie Season Since 1934

  By mblmlb on 05/18/2020 • ( 0 )

  

  According to Baseball Reference’s Play Index, not since 1934 has a rookie produced a season like Diaz’s. In 615 at bats, Raul hit .333 with 205 hits, 44 doubles, 5 triples, 15 home runs and scored 111 runs. That resulted in 5.6 WAR.
