No matter how much I learn or believe/disbelieve of advanced baseball statistics, I always compare hitters to the .300/.400/.500 slash line.
As a kid, the big question no one could comfortably answer was "When you grow up, do you want to be a .300 hitter or a twenty game winner?"

The newspapers still list AVG, HR, RBI, W-L, ERA, K leaders. It's what resonates with the average fan. The average fan goes into a coma if you try to discuss analytics with them.
