Georgia Tech Baseball: Advanced Stats and Sabermetrics 2017 - An Introduction
What are Sabermetrics?
I’ll let SABR describe the overall concept far better than I can, but for our purposes, sabermetrics will attempt to paint a better picture of Georgia Tech’s performances than traditional box score statistics.
The metrics I’ve chosen to follow this season aim to accomplish three goals:
Focus on outcomes that have the most affect on win probability
Isolate the individual player’s performance from the rest of the team’s performance, thus increasing the “signal to noise ratio” of the information gleaned from the stats
Predict whether or not a player’s traditional statistics will regress(Either positively or negatively)
