Chone Figgins: best baserunner in the league?

These numbers don't include stolen bases, and only measure advancements on batted balls (grounders, fly outs, singles, etc). This is one of those things to which even now I don't think many of us pay enough attention.

Figgins was almost entirely offset by Kotchman.

In 245 less plate appearances.

I wish that was broken down by year, so we could see if 2010 was any different.

...and now I'm here

Not the same person compiling the results, but you can look at BPro's results year-by-year

I wonder

how that fits together with this.

Well, the one you linked to includes stolen bases, for starters.

That I know, yes

Different system for compiling baserunning results

As well as a different time frame. The BPro results you linked are for 2010. MGL’s results are for the last 4 years averaged per 150 games.

Oops

Premature enactulation of the post button. I meant to add this:

We don’t get a year-to-year breakdown from MGL, but going by BPro, he didn’t seem to be nearly as good this year as previously, but was still above average.
