My favorite part about MLB Draft night is seeing all the fans angry-tweet that their team “wasted their pick” because they took an 18 year old shortstop straight out of high school and their team “already has a shortstop”.
Truly a tradition like no other.
It's probably time the correlations list got updated, so here we go! 10 years of MLB seasons (300 team-seasons of data), spanning 22,763 games and over 6.7 million pitches.
This shows the relative impact that various stats have on a team's ability to score runs.
