Discussion of the stats landscape
A decent effort to lay out the discussion. First the old school, then some of the basic new school stats.
There are some errors, for example:
Lots of people like to use the statistic OPS (OBP+SLG) as a quick, shorthand way of combing all of these stats. The caveat to this is thus; is a “point” of on-base percentage equal to a “point” of slugging? No, it is not; the slugging point is worth more because of what it represents.
?Unfortunately, that's not true. As I've shown in the past, the best weighting of OBP and SLG is roughly 1.7 OBP for every 1 SLG.
