It will however tell you the difference between bad luck and bad performance without watching every inning of every game. It can do that in one at bat or a week or a month or an entire season. You don't even have to watch a single minute.

And if you see some 16 year old hit a ball 115 mph with a wooden bat, you know damn well that he's something special after that one at bat. You cannot hit a ball that hard without elite major league skills even one time and your eye cannot determine the difference between elite EV (115) and plus EV (105).
