  1. Base-Run Ratio

    This statistic I created is exactly what its name says it is: a ratio between bases made and runs scored. The formula is:

    BRR = (SLB + SB) / R
    ...SLB = Slugging Bases = (1*1B) + (2*2B) + (3*3B) + (4*HR)
    ...SB = Stolen Bases
    ...R = Runs Scored

    Let's look at Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez and their BRRs, with BRRPAs (BRR per Plate Appearance) in parentheses, over the last four years.

    JETER
    2006 - 2.839 (0.024)
    2007 - 2.980 (0.029) ...
