1. Walt Davis Posted: May 16, 2023 at 05:04 PM (#6128494)Or about 20% but whatever!! What's a factor of two beteen friends? (And of course it doesn't "make" him anything, it "means" he is ...)
Anyway, off to a very fine start but ran into the wall yesterday.
Or about 20% but whatever!! What's a factor of two beteen friends?
My tentative understanding is that OPS+ is scaled the way it is because this way an OPS+ of, say, 141, corresponds to a hitter whose estimated run production is roughly 41% above league average.
And the scale wasn't chosen for anything beyond the desire to put league average at 100. The people who came up with OPS+ never tested how well it works as you move away from 100. Among other things, convenient online databases didn't exist before the Lahman database and OPS+ predates those. It was always intended as nothing more than a quick and dirty way to park adjust OPS.
