Baseball has a problem. It's too optimized. Statheads like me have boiled down baseball's value into three true outcomes: Home runs, strikeouts and walks.
But what if we had a way to measure the things that baseball fans actually enjoy from a player? What if we could put a number on a players entertainment value like we do their WAR? I've developed a statistic that does just that.
This video takes you on the journey of the creation of the new baseball stat that can help identify players who are fun to watch. And isn't that the idea? shouldn't baseball be fun to watch?
