Number Crunchers, what's a good /ave/ poor SLG etc..
Hello all.
Realtivley new to MLB. Wanting to grasp the stats more. Went to a great site (fangraphs) which graded and quantified stats ie: AVR / OBP with a handy guide of.... Great Above Average Average Below Average Poor But they didn't give a grade for SLG, OPS+, WHIP etc.. Could any one help. Thank you very much |
Re: Number Crunchers, what's a good /ave/ poor SLG etc..
Anyone one with a WHIP around 1.15 would be classified as good.
A WHIP under 1.00 is elite A WHIP from 1.25 - 1.35 is around average However, it is also dependent on the ballpark... a pitcher for the Rockies who makes all their home starts in Colorado and has a 1.15 WHIP would be a great ratio for them. OPS+: 100 is league average. Anytime you see the “+” it is ballpark, era, and league adjusted. 110 is quite good, while 90 would be below average. SLG: .440 is probably around average. Over .500 is definitely excellent. Under .400 is dreadful. However, like WHIP, the ballpark a player calls home is a huge factor. A player for the Royals who slugs .455 is pretty good. Hope this helps |

Thank you so much for that.
There's a lot to "grasp" in the MLB stats.... Lol I had studied what they " meant" but was havibg difficulty 'value ing " (what was good etc) |
Re: Number Crunchers, what's a good /ave/ poor SLG etc..
I would say it depends on position as well.
A 1B who slugs .450 is probably considered average/slightly below average, whereas a SS who slugs .450 would be considered pretty good. I would take the more premium defensive positions (SS, C, CF) and give them a bit more leeway in regards to what you think is a good slugging percentage etc., especially if they play good defense. |
