2011 MLB Catcher Demographics

Xan,

Thanks for the gathering and analyzing that data. I agree with you that the average salary calculation is not as informative because of the outliers. It would be probably be more representative if you dropped the top and bottom three to five numbers and found the average of the remaining salaries. The median (middle) salary and the mode (most common) salary would also help round out the picture.

I wonder how those compare to other non-pitching positions.

Thanks again. Very interesting.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. It was a very interesting project, but extremely time consuming looking everything up and then analyzing the data!

Xan, I really enjoyed the presentation.

for the catchers/parents of catchers - Xan has great information on his website. I "like" him on Facebook so I keep up with the updates.

You didn't mention the shortest catchers heights - might give a little hope to the not quite 6 footers out here.
