Statistics And The MLB
Posted on: April 1, 2010 by admin
Whether you know it or not, statistics play a huge role in the operations of an MLB team. This goes well beyond the normal stats like ERA and batting averages. Sure these are huge in how the line ups are done or how players may be paid and so on, but players are sometimes recruited based on statistical analysis. How tall they are, how old, how big, how much they weigh and more. These can be critical when recruiting.
After playing ball for tons of years, they have compiled so many stats on players. These stats may show for example that players under the height of 5’8″ do not do as well as taller players. Now we made that up but we think you get the point, statistics are very important.
