Prepping for the new season

Early March, Whifflers, means we are just weeks away from wiffle-tolerant weather on Saturday mornings.  To get ready for the season, I have set up some of the 2011 stats tables - available on the right side for your perusal.  The tables are set up with dummy stats, taken from the Reds/Dodgers Cactus League game from Saturday, March 5.  The "All Stats" link is the same look at the standard batting and pitching stats for all players.

What's new is the "Clutch Batting" link that provides (via tab links across the top) a look at how players bat with runners in scoring position (RISP), how players bat with 2 outs and RISP, and finally how players bat when their team is behind.

Missing is the Matchup Matrix, which in addition to being a little bit of a pain to create, really added nothing to our understanding of the game or league.  Really, what does it matter how Zamonski hits off Ben?

If there are suggestions on what would be a good look at "Clutch Pitching," I'd welcome that.  Is there any such thing as clutch pitching?  Discuss, in the comments.

  2. Well. The Bandit's .384 average of Ben was more than 100 points higher than his overall .280 average. Still, it was significantly below the .445 that all batters hit off Ben.
