Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Great article at Baseball Analysts

Rich Lederer has a great article up on http://www.baseballanalysts.com/. The article takes everything into account as far as batting. The numbers are based of Total Plate Appearances rather than At Bats. Shows Ichiro as an example. Ichiro gets out 60.6% of the time. Rich breaks down:

TOP 20 IN HITTING PERCENTAGE (H/TPA)
TOP 20 IN WALK PERCENTAGE (BB/TPA)
TOP 20 IN OBP/LOWEST OUT PERCENTAGE
TOP 20 IN SLUGGING OR ADVANCEMENT PERCENTAGE

The work here is based off an earlier article by Sully, that I thought was interesting but Rich really put some nice context around it.

Recommended Read.
