Smart Baseball
The old stats are ruining the game and the new ones are running it. This is the case for how to think about baseball, and why most of what you were taught about it is wrong.
A tour through the numbers that shaped a century of baseball thinking and the ones that replaced them. Batting average, RBI, pitcher wins: where they came from, what they measure, and why the sport spent so long believing them. Then the statistics that work, explained without a maths degree, and what they let you see that the old ones hid.
