MASTER NOTES: PRO hitters 2018

Last week, we looked at 2017’s pitchers, using the “Percentage Ratio Outcomes” (PRO) system I devised last season. This week, we turn to the hitters, whose PRO metric starts by calculating the percentage of hitters’ plate appearances (PA, minimum 200) resulted in these positive outcomes:

  • Hard-hit grounders and fly balls (HHGB, HHFB)
  • All line drives (LD)
  • Walks and HBP (bb, HBP)

And these negative outcomes:

  • Soft- and medium-hit grounders and fly balls (SHGB/FB, MHGB/FB)
  • Infield pop-ups (IF)
  • Strikeouts (K)

The sum of the negative percentage outcomes is subtracted from the sum of the positive percentage outcomes to arrive at the Net PRO.

Again a reminder: Don’t lean too heavily on PRO or any other single metric in doing player...

Almost!
