What the hitting grade is made of

Runs each part adds or takes away against an average hitter in the same plate appearances: his count against what an average hitter would have had. The grade then counts how much he plays: these runs per game his team has played.

  • Home runs−2.0
  • Walks+1.3
  • Singles+1.0
  • Triples−0.9
  • Hit by pitch−0.6
  • Outs, strikeouts included+0.6
  • Caught stealing−0.4
  • Stolen bases+0.2
  • Parks played in−0.1

What the pitching grade is made of

Runs each part saves or costs against an average pitcher facing the same batters. Contact counts a quarter for how it turned out, because over a season that's mostly the fielders and luck.

  • Strikeouts−0.9
  • Home runs allowed+0.8
  • Walks+0.6
  • Hit batters+0.1
