Oh jesus... I just noticed that in not reading very thoroughly the first bunch of posts before I saw the chart and freaked out, that I missed how Sixto included HR in his calculation of BABIP. So, is everything actually fixed with regards to this??

The formula for BABIP is (H-HR)/(AB-HR-SO). |

It was my mistake to call the column BABIP. It should be more like BANSO (batting average no strikeouts).
I apologize though for those who were confused by the fact that those were real-life stats, not simmed stats, in the attached Excel image. The idea behind BABIP was to determine fielding-independent statistics. HR were included with BB and SO was because HR do not depend on the fielders. That is the only reason they were included - to determine the effect fielders have on statistics. If you want to determine how a batter was at getting hits when he was at the mercy of fielders, then BABIP will obviously help you get there. However, I don't believe that a player's propensity to strike out has any bearing on that. It was my mistake using the term BABIP. That is not what that column signifies. Taking HR out of the stats may 'narrow the band' but if anything I wanted to show that no matter how good a player could possibly be at getting hits on balls in play, he could not possibly hit .833 or whatever you would have to do to hit .380 in 550 PA with 199 SO. Whether you take the HR out or not, there is still a virtual cap on how well a player can perform on balls in play. Last edited by sixto; 06-05-2006 at 05:34 PM. |

By the way, I think the best stat you could use in OOTP2006 is VORP/PA.

If anyone's interested, this is a link to some interesting research regarding players who reach base on errors much more than average.
