That’s the best case scenario, and it’s not very good. Tack on 10 days or so for the rehab, which looks like a reasonable guess based on previous rehab timelines, and it could be June before Urías takes the field in a Brewers jersey. After that, he will rehab again his brief stint in the minors is still his only in-game baseball in 2020. The foot, if it heals well, will be fine in four or so weeks. This is adding up to a lot of time without a credible shortstop on the team. That’s a complete fluke - as best as I understand it, OOTP injuries are treated independently, and a broken hand and broken foot are definitely not correlated. While playing in Triple-A San Antonio, Urías broke his foot. Well, rehab just hit us in a place where we don’t have depth. The way the recovery and the timing of the regular season stacked up, that cost us roughly a month of playing time - the injury wasn’t fully healed until last week, and given his missed spring, the league decided a one week rehab assignment would be reasonable - in theory, OOTP players don’t need rehab assignments, but we’re striving for realism here. It was a buy-low trade for a touted prospect who had some growing pains last year, the kind of move that, should it work, could pay huge dividends. Orlando Arcia simply hasn’t panned out that’s why the real-life Brewers traded for Luis Urías over the offseason. Since the correlations were strong, this bears a closer look at game-level rather than simply team-level data.Unfortunately, that’s not the case at shortstop. That’s surprisingly close to the 10 runs-1 win ratio that Bill James uses as a rule of thumb. 01 in BABIP corresponds to about 3.29 extra losses.
Its coefficient in the Wins model is -328.757, meaning that an increase of. 01, that would translate to about 34 runs per season.
offense? That’s crazy.) In both models, the coefficients are statistically significant at the 99% level.īABIP’s coefficient in the Runs model is 3444.44, which means that a batting average on balls in play of 1.000 would lead to about 3444 runs scored over a season more realistically, if BABIP increases by. In the Runs model, about 14% of runs come due to something other than home runs, walks, or hits, such as baserunning and errors in the Wins model, about 47% of team wins are explained by something other than defense and pitching. Since R 2 roughly describes the percent of variation explained by the model, this makes a lot of sense. 8625 with Wins as the dependent variable, the R 2 was. With Runs as the dependent variable, the R 2 of the model was.
I crunched two models to test this, each with the same functional form: Dependent Variable = a + b*FIP + c*BABIP. If BABIP accurately describes a team’s defensive power, then a statistical model that models team runs allowed as a function of fielding-independent pitching and pitching-independent fielding should explain a large proportion, but not all, of the runs allowed by a team, and thereby explain a significant but smaller proportion of the team’s wins. It’s a weaker and negative correlation, which is expected – negative because an added point of opposing team BABIP would mean more balls in play were falling in as hits, and weaker because it ignores the team’s offensive production entirely.
Similarly, the correlation between BABIP and team wins was about -.549. 741 – that’s a pretty strong correlation. (Note that for statistical purposes, summary statistics for 1-BABIP will be the same magnitude and the opposite sign as statistics for BABIP, so I went ahead and just used BABIP.)įor a quick check, I checked in at Baseball Reference to get the National League’s team-level statistics for the last 5 years, then correlated BABIP to runs allowed by the team. One reply asked whether 1-BABIP is a valid defensive metric, and that got the wheels turning. I went into commissioner mode and basically ranked everyone’s stats to go 0-550 with 550 Ks (although when I went back, OOTP changed it to give them all a few hits and a couple of walks, etc.) I did not have to edit BJ Upton, as he was already programmed to do so. I follow OOTP on Facebook, and this Reddit thread about editing the Braves to go 0-162 popped up the other day.
