James Shield's 2007 data with Rays:
DER (Defensive Efficiency Ratio) : "measures the percentage of times balls in play are turned into outs
by the team's fielders, not including homeruns. There are different
versions of the formula for DER but one most commonly used is
(BFP-H-K-BB-HBP-0.6*E)/(BFP-HR-K-BB-HBP) where BFP = batters faced
pitcher, H=hits allowed, K=strikeouts, BB=walks allowed, HBP=hits
batsmen and E=errors"
DIPS:
"The Defense Independent Pitching Statistic (DIPS) system was invented
by Voros McCracken. His studies of pitching statistics suggest that
major league pitchers do not differ greatly on their ability to prevent hits on balls in play.
The rate at which a pitcher allows hits on balls in play has more to do
with defense and luck than to his own skill, and can vary greatly from
year to year." The pitchers contribution to overall team defense
consists of walks allowed, strikeouts, homeruns allowed and hits
batsmen issued[2006]. [2005]
BABIP (Batting Averge Balls in Play) : This is a measure of the number of batted balls that safely fall in for a hit (not including home runs).[more] [BP]
FIP ERA (Fielding Independent Pitching ERA)
: Earned Run Average was supposed to remove the effect of fielding
errors from runs allowed. However, there is a human factor involved
where a hit or an error is dependent on the the official scorers
interpretation. Moreover, it does not take into account the ability of
fielders to get to balls. FIP ERA measures pitcher performance
essentially independent from fielding. The formula is
HR*13+(BB+HBP)*3-K*2)/IP plus a league specific factor to make it
equivalent to ERA. THT Stats
RC (Runs Created): "A statistic intended to quantify a player's contribution to runs scored, as well as a team's expected number of runs scored. Runs created is calculated from other offensive statistics. James' first version of it: Runs Created = (Total Bases * (Hits + Walks))/(Plate Appearances). Applied to an entire team or league, the statistic correlates closely to that team's or league's actual runs scored. Since James first created the statistic, sabermetricians have refined it to make it more accurate, and it is now used in many different variations."
UZR:
(Ultimate Zone Rating ) is the most effective and comprehensive
measurement of a player's defensive ability. The statistic judges what
the chances are that a ball in play will be able to be converted into
an out depending on how hard the ball was hit, what zone it was hit to
and whether it is a ground ball, fly ball or line drive. That
probability is then adjust to take into account the park the ball was
hit in, how many and where people were on base, the handedness of the
batter, the pitcher's groundball-to-flyball ration and how many outs
there were at the time [UZR]
PMR
: Pinto uses play-by-play data to determine the probability of a ball
in play being converted to an out based on six parameters: Direction of
hit (a vector), The type of hit (Fly, ground, line drive, bunt), How
hard the ball was hit (slow, medium, hard), The park, The handedness of
the pitcher, The handedness of the batter.[link]- 2006
ZR: John Dewan's Zone Rating
. ZR basically is the proportion of balls hit into a fielder's zone
that he successfully converted into an out. A fielders "zone" is
considered to be the areas on a ball field in which at least 50% of
batted balls are handled for outs. Zones are standardized and defined
separately for each position. The revised version of ZR lists balls
handled out of the zone separately and doesn't include them in the
calculation, and also doesn't give players extra credit for double
plays. [2007]
Arms in Outfield:
five different situations when an outfielder's throwing ability comes
into play: Single with runner on first base (second base unoccupied),
Double with runner on first base, Single with runner on second base,
Fly out with runner on third base, fewer than two outs, Fly out with
runner on second base, fewer than two outs (third base unoccupied).
PECOTA : (Player Empirical Comparison and Optimization Test Algorithm which boils down to the last name of Bill Pecota, a former major league utilityman) PECOTA
accounts for these sorts of factors by creating not a single forecast
point, as other systems do, but rather a range of possible outcomes
that the player could expect to achieve at different levels of
probability. Pecota uses as many as 100 comparables in generating its
forecasts.
VORP
: is a sabermetric analysis developed by Keith Woolner that seeks to
measure the contribution, in runs, of a player beyond what a backup (or
replacement-level) player would produce for an average team given the
same amount of playing time. VORP is adjusted for park and league, and
position (for non-pitchers) [2004] BP
WinShares: "approach to evaluating the contribution of individual players to their teams' overall performance, and focuses primarily on the many formulae involved in computing the final number, as well as presenting many lists of players ranked in various ways using the rating."
PitchFx:"introduced by MLB and Sportvision, it uses two cameras to record the position of the pitched baseball during its flight from the pitcher?s hand to home plate, and various parameters are measured and calculated to describe the trajectory and speed of each pitch."
