Advanced Stats- Sabermetric

Vechi8 · 02-24-2015, 09:49 PM

Hello all,

So many updates this year really sounds outstanding. I have never been disappointed in any year with releases, but this year with the MLB licensing sounds complete.

Not sure if the topic has been exhausted but I would love to see all or if any changes in relation to player statistics, Having fangraphs formula with WAR is a huge plus with accuracy. Are there more Fangraph stats included this year?

Thanks for your help!

Sorry, no xFIP in the game right now. We've added FIP- for pitchers, and wRC, wRC+, wRAA, and BsR (base running runs) for batters (although the last 2 aren't shown by default on player profiles and will only show in lists if you select them).

As mentioned, we're now using fWAR for batters, and have fixed the previous pitcher FIP and WAR calculations to actually take league context into account (previously it was always scaled to roughly 2000-levels, causing FIP values to be way off from what they "should" be).

Great news. I appreciate your quick response Matt!

Does fWAR fix the problem where catchers were consistently undervalued in terms of WAR?
