The next sabermetric formula that I am going to introduce to you is called Home Run Decimal. It has some of the same principals as the previous formula I wrote, which was called RBI Decimal. For example, all of it’s values are written in decimal, hence the name Home Run Decimal. There is one major difference. Instead of using the level of pitcher difficulty as the key variable, I used the count.
I did this for one reason: that being the fact in order to hit a home run, you need maximum contact. In that case, a hitters count is key.
