hahah amazing what you find... i was at least half wrong about defense after a little superficial research. certainly can't rule it out, especially OF defense - likely more so at the corners than CF, unless you have a severely incompetent CF.

the correlation coefficient table clears up some thigns too... e.g. gb% has vurtually no correlation to BABIP -- i'd wager this throws a wrench into infield defense having much to do with babip. it's inversely related, albeit weakly, with FB%. How much of that is home runs and OF defense, i don't know... but this is where i'd wager defense is helping the most. Also biggest range of defender quality at positions that require the least (CF being different than the corners) |
From that table on FG I feel better about getting rid of flyball pitchers whenever possible. Seems Coors' FB/HR rate is insanely high.
What I need to really pull out is what pitch mix has success in our park.
I signed Marcus Stroman in 21/22 offseason (extreme groundball pitcher in the game) and that has turned out to mostly be a disaster... Looking at his pitch ratings I can see why now. Nothing about a 55 in any of his 5 pitches
