Interesting stat

If you're going to include walks and hbp then I think you would need to also include stolen bases and sacrifices.

Steals would make it a bit more complicated though as caught stealings would need to be figured in. A CS is basically twice as "valuable" as a SB because you lose the first base too.

 So essentially if you want to do +1 for a SB you need to do -1 for a CS while you don't need to do that for an out.

ah SABR chat, according to my data the tTOD%  (% chance thread TO DERAIL) is 41%. Add in certain posters the weighted tTOD goes up to 75%. Add in current events...100%  

tTOD is suspiciously close to the metric tRump I keep seeing online.   Is that what you mean by derail?

Seriously though. Dominik that metric makes my son feel better because he's been walking like a fiend lately and hitting pretty meh.  Me? I keep telling him walks won't get him recruited. Take a rip!

Walks work at the present level. They don’t get you to the next level. When my son first started hitting third in the lineup junior year of high school his coach told him he’s not hitting third to take strikes. He’s hitting third to drive in runs. In travel ball you don’t want to waste opportunities walking unless you’re just not seeing strikes. 

Dom’s stats are for players who are already at the highest level. 

For my 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th hitters, I measure RBI per At bat.
Show me one rbi each six at bat and you can continue to hit in the line up.

Every college coach has their book. Special mentally for rbi hitter. Joe Rudi when he was “on deck” prayed that Reggie Jackson would be walked so he could hit!

I think they are mostly interesting for college and pro players. Obviously at 13u nobody cards about your obp if you can't hit.

They could also motivate a HS player if he has a bad day to do something. Kinda like you didn't hit well but you had a bloop and a walk so you did your job helping the team.
