Ok so let’s have some snarky fun here. What are some clues that the scorebook is cooked? I’m not talking about games you have watched and you see e’s scored as hits but stats from teams where the coach seems to be putting stats together to dominate end of season awards etc.
I am neither a stat or a number person but it seems like there are clues that seem pretty obvious that something is fishy.
This is far from definitive but one of the things I always look at is if the teams .650 hitter has any ROE after there are enough at bats that you are starting to get meaningful number of plate appearances. I really notice this when the player is hitting a lot of singles and not as many xbh. Slappers would be an obvious exception I would think.
If you aren’t striking out and you are putting balls in play, how do you never hit into a fc or roe?
