If you take a look at rule 10, you’ll see every stat the rules require. Remember, those rules are owned by MLB, who is actually the franchise owners. In those rules, you’re not gonna see a great many of the stats available today. So in the context of the stats defined by the rules, ROEs have no relevance.

How do you see a run being ignored or made more valuable because of the way the runner reached base? I really believe you’re confusing the stats called for by rule, and all the stats you have available.
