stats after 20 AB's or 30 AB's are close to worthless. sample size issues...

In HS or other short seasons the only stats that matter are the eye test and metrics of talent.

Sure they’re worthless for projections of future success, but so are the eye tests for the most part. But I am interested in what “metrics of talent” are. Obviously there some kind of measurement being made which means there’s some kind of statistic.

We have one boy hitting over 500 with 2 swinging bunts, 2 pop ups in no mans land and 3 ground balls the saw the way into a hole...another one has hit a full handful on the button right at people and is batting .220. Who do you think is having a better season?

The boy hitting over .500 is doing a much better job for his team. What good does it do the team to have a player hitting balls right on the button but making outs?
