Know the language
A better baseball conversation starts with a shared vocabulary.
OPSOn-base percentage plus slugging percentage. A quick view of how often a hitter reaches and how much damage follows.
WHIPWalks and hits per inning pitched. Lower usually means fewer runners allowed.
FIPFielding Independent Pitching estimates a pitcher’s run prevention from strikeouts, walks, hit batters, and home runs.
wOBAA weighted on-base average that gives different values to different ways of reaching base.
ISOIsolated power: slugging percentage minus batting average, focused on extra-base impact.
K%The share of plate appearances ending in a strikeout. A useful way to compare players with different playing time.
