We statheads are often accused of focusing only on that which can be counted and ignoring the critical intangibles which truly define a player. Well, that ends today. After literally minutes of diligent work, I have created a stat which measures grit.

I've just calculated Wille Bloomquist's EqGRIT!
Including Bonuses: Better fielder than hitter +30 and Good clubhouse guy +20
His raw score = 410.6…
EqGRIT = 0.308

variables need to be added that increase EqGRIT for white players, short players, and even more when they are combined.

I prefer PLUK
It’s been around for a long time and, I feel, has held up really well. No reason to replace it with this fancy schmancy EqGRIT stuff.
