As you probably know by now, I like baseball stats. I also like trying to solve mysteries. Delving into the stats can be intriguing, because we frequently want to understand which particular statistic is more useful in comparing and analyzing players and teams.
We like advanced stats, but they may or may not include context (such as context-dependent win probability stats). Run expectancy stats are contextual, taking into account the sequencing and timing of hits and outs. However, we usually rely on rate stats which are based on the league average run impacts of hits and outs over a season.
