Expanded fielding stats

Josquin · 11-24-2018, 12:21 AM

Anyone know how to interpret these? What are the percentages for each type of play that an average fielder at the position would make? My first guess would be:

Routine - 95%
Likely - 75%
Even - 50%
Unlikely - 25%
Remote - 5%
Imp. - 0%

The stats below are for Devon White, who is an elite CF. Looks like he took away a lot of potential hits with his stellar defensive skills.

Yep, basically right. They're roughly related to the inside edge fielding numbers, so routine are 90+, likely 60-90, even 40-60, unlikely 10-40, remove 1-10, and impossible as 0%, or roughly speaking the numbers you have are an average. So yeah, the fact that he's above the average in each category, I assume he's running some strong defensive metrics for you, and saving you a lot of runs with his D.

If it's the same system that fangraphs uses for the inside edge fielding which I assume it is due to them having the same labels for the categories then it would be
Routine 90-100%
Likely 60-90%
Even 40-60%
Unlikely 10-40%
Remote 1-10%
Impossible 0%

so.... if I understand this correctly.

the whole number under Imp ( Impossible ) is the number of plays made successfully that had a 0% chance of success.

a true highlite play ???
