Dominik85 posteditches per PA and walks also at the pro level is also very dependent on pitchers fear.

For example miguel cabrera chased more pitches outside the zone than ichiro but he still walked more because pitchers avoided the zone more against him because miggy hits bombs.

I get that. But Stafford didn’t just use PPPA as a metric useful in showing patience or aggression. That’s why I asked PG why he posted that link because it only shows PPPA.

In my mind it take a lot more than any one metric to show much of anything, and the trick isn’t just finding those things. A way has to be found to put them together. PPPA is definitely an “indication” of aggression and/or patience, but with some other metrics to give better context PPPA really doesn’t mean much. You mentioned walks as did Stafford. How would you incorporate walks into the algorithm to show patience/aggression?
