UPDATE REGARDING STATISTICS AND DATA
Hey guys so I followed the links Effectively Wild presented in podcast #1632 and so here is
Luisa Gauci's presentation this year at the SABR/IWBC Women in Baseball Conference. She uses the statistics from the 2018 Women's Baseball World Cup that I mentioned earlier in this thread in order to create a 20-80 scale tailored towards the current landscape of the women's game. Here's a screenshot of the chart she uses in her presentation for those who would like to see:
This could provide a baseline for data in a contemporary women's league, especially if the Devs choose to add the Women's World Cup like I suggested previously. Here's a link to
an article written about Luisa and other women's work at Driveline for some more context on this issue, plus a link to
Baseball For All which is a nonprofit attempting to promote gender equality in baseball if you're interested in this topic any further ^_^
As I understand, Luisa is fairly responsive and enthusiastic about this stuff on social media, so I would encourage the Devs to reach out to her for advise on modeling women players in upcoming versions of the game.
