todd Joined: 01/30/2020 Posts: 144 Wellington Phoenix Legends | How indicative of future performance are the statistics of players in the draft? When I consider the statistics of two 18 year old pitchers in the draft, one with a 4.50 ERA and the other with a 6.50 ERA, will the lower ERA player be more likely to be the better player? In the future? Updated Friday, November 27 2020 @ 7:21:12 am PST |

On draft day I read statistics on every player on my board ??IF?? A player has great statistics but low Skills/Potential I considered him if he has good reported scouting like very good hitting or exceptional slider. I look at games played and hits 40GP/45Hits I,ll take him. Or for pitchers "Holds" per games appeared and saved the more better he is in clutch. Innings/hits also want a player with higher innings lower hits allowed. | ||

However, I think there's a decent chance that the 6.50 ERA pitcher has something holding him back which may well persist into a potential major league career. | ||

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9571 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | In the first round I passed up a "power" hitter with a GB/FB ~2.00 over two seasons in highschool. Granted I like the guy I drafted, but if the "Very Good hitter, Prolific slugger" had a GB/FB closer to 1.00 I would have drafted him. Now, the guy I picked has a 2.447 WHIP over two seasons in highschool. So not great stats. But tendency stats like vLHP, GB/FB, or SB carry more weight in my book. I just hope Cecil overcomes his habit of pitching meatballs... In highschool he gave up 2 hits per inning! Updated Friday, November 27 2020 @ 4:52:13 pm PST |
