Stats at the HS level is as good as the volunteer scorekeeper. Not very.

Doesn't necessarily get much better in college. So what other stat(s) are you saying is objective? what would you recommend? Do you think there is a optimal cookie cutter formula? I'm interested in your perceptions. I see you seem to like pitches between events.

You mention outs being objective but not WHIP or AVE against..

WHIP is basically just a measure of outs vs non-outs... and Ave against is outs vs hits not considering walks (ok and HBPs).

Being an engineer myself, I can throw a stat or two around, but also know people can manipulate them to make them say almost anything they want.

That said, look at all of the stats being thrown around during draft weekend...

Some became real valuable... while others didn't
