"Better formula for ratio would be: 1b+2b+walks(all kinds, incl. hit by pitch)"
Maybe. Maybe not. I don't know. But none of the events always result in an opportunity to steal, which is what we're trying to determine, so all are inaccurate. Anyway, I choose SB attempts / 1B because that's what the game uses in its simulation accuracy analysis. It seemed important to match the game's method in the event of a future comparison with overall results.
You have provided very interesting information and have put a lot of work into this. The conclusion speed is the attribute and stealing ability the modifier is enlightening.
But, as you say, its a bit hard to understand. Does it provide any clues about the success rate in my data under performing historical?
