Left on Base Percentage (LOB%) measures the percentage of base runners that a pitcher strands on base over the course of a season. This stat does not use the left on base numbers reported in box scores, but instead is calculated using a pitcher’s actual hits, walks, and runs allowed results:
LOB% = (H+BB+HBP-R)/(H+BB+HBP-(1.4*HR))
So that explains Street’s nutty LOB rate.
Yep – I went back and calculated by hand because that still seemed nuts, but there it was. He stranded every runner he had from 6/15 until the final day of the season. Flew under my east coast bias radar.
That new intro music is already growing on me lol. Good job guys. M.P is obviously missed but I’m really liking Jason so far too. And of course Eno is always awesome with his “yeeeaahhh , wellllll”‘s haha.
