Just like real life, sample sizes and luck will matter. Just because a guy has a week of not hitting the ball hard doesn't mean that he's about to crash and burn.
As for the pitching stats, we do track every pitch. For stuff like the run values and x-stats, we do track and count them for each pitch, and add them up. There are some simplifying assumptions with them, sure, but our goal is to map things out.
And as I mentioned, we did spend some time to also make sure pitchers are throwing the right pitches in the right counts, and so on. There was also some of that before, but it was a simpler method.
