The Guillen Number is a statistic first introduced by Joe Sheehan of Baseball Prospectus. It attempts to measure the level of dependence a team has on the home run ball. It is simply the number of runs scored by a team through home runs divided by the number of runs scored. The higher the Guillen number and the higher their rank, the more reliance a team has on the home run.
