Lopez (#100) to Chourio (#91)



It’s time to start out my annual rundown of the Baseball 100, my record of one of the best gamers throughout the latest major-league season.

I’ll launch 10 names at a time on successive Tuesdays and Fridays, beginning beneath with the gamers who occupy 91st by one hundredth place. The method will conclude with the highest 10 on February 14.

The rankings inside the Baseball 100 are decided by 2024’s total base values (OBV), which measure the relative effectiveness of batters and pitchers.

A constructive OBV signifies one among two issues:

  • A selected batter reached extra bases than the common large leaguer would have attained below equivalent circumstances.

  • A given pitcher surrendered fewer bases than his typical counterpart would have yielded below the identical circumstances.

Click on right here if you wish to know extra in regards to the formulation and calculations. (Bear in mind that OBV is barely totally different from the BV described within the hyperlink. The preliminary signal for a pitcher’s BV is reversed for his OBV. A adverse signal is best for a pitcher’s BV, however a constructive signal is right for an OBV, which is what we’re utilizing right here. Make sense?)

The participant with the best OBV — whether or not a hitter or pitcher — is deemed to be one of the best total participant. The rankings proceed downward so as.

If two or extra gamers are tied with equivalent OBVs, I break the tie by matching their ratios of bases per out (BPO) in opposition to 2024’s big-league common of .675. BPO is precisely what it feels like, a comparability of bases reached or yielded (by hits, walks, hit batters, stolen bases, and sacrifices) in opposition to outs made or induced.

Desire inside a tie is given to the participant who surpassed the BPO norm by the best quantity, both above .675 for a batter or beneath the identical mark for a pitcher.

Every participant within the Baseball 100 is listed along with his rank, membership, major place (the one he performed greater than another in 2024), BPO or BPO allowed (BPOA), the numbers of bases and outs concerned, and OBV.
