Pitching BABIP - 1 to 100 scale vs 0-250 scale

Aaenuel · 07-04-2024, 08:13 PM

Hello and thank you for anyone reading thing and considering responding. I am trying to understand a discrepancy I am seeing between Pitcher BABIP ratings on the play profile tab vs what is listed in the player editor.

* Player profile is using 1-100 scale
* Using 100% scout accuracy
* Ratings above max are exposed

Typically for ratings that are still on the older rating scale I would expect that by taking the 1-100 rating in the profile * 2 I should get a what is listed in the editor with a margin of error of about 1 point. However, I am noticing that is not the case with Pitcher BABIP and I can't figure out why.

Example:
Looking at Grayson Rodriguez. His PBABIP on the profile tab is listed as 57. 57 * 2 would be 114. If I look in the editor his Pitching BABIP is listed as 118.

This is not an isolated issue. In the test league I am looking at which is based on Standard New Game only 94 out of 390 pitchers would be within that 1 point margin of error of just taking the profile rating * 2.

Some differences between the profile page and the editor are fairly large. For example:

* Tyler Wells = 142 expected based on profile * 2, editor is 152
* Josiah Gray = 126 expected based on profile * 2, editor is 133
* Nick Sandlin = 154 expected based on profile * 2, editor is 168

I have not been able to figure out what is creating the discrepancy. Does anyone have any potential insight into what is going on here?

Best guess is effect of groundball/flyball ratio on final babip rating?

It's not converted on a linear scale. It's adjusted a little so that the averages line up with the other ratings.
