Also, The Only Rule is that it Has to Work, also by Ben Lindbergh and Ben Clemens.įor notable players, go to and sort by career WAR and just go down the list! Will give you a good start on the games greats. Also for books I can’t recommend The MVP Machine by Ben Lindbergh enough. To learn more about baseballs past and present you should check out Foolish Baseball on YouTube, and Ken Burn’s Baseball. They all have glossaries with amazingly in depth explanations and formulas. Now to answer your questions: to get more knowledge about stats and what they mean, check out these websites: Fangraphs, Baseball Reference, and Baseball Savant.

I am currently playing as an RF.Īny MLB The Show creators I should watch to learn about the game?Īlso thanks in advance for reading this and have a great day!!!įirst off, I must say, from what you’ve said about why you’ve gotten so interested, namely statistics, that you should really check out Out of the Park Baseball. What should I read or watch to know more about baseball history and its customs?Īny notable players I should investigate about before anyone else? (I only know about Barry Bonds and that is it) What do you peeps recommend me to do to get more knowledge about stats? Also about the in-game attributes? (I have read some stuff about them but I don't get to a conclusion o what they really mean) I wanted to post this to say hi and to ask a couple of questions, if I'm allowed to.

I like the Oakland A's and I wanna support them because their colors are beautiful and my father also likes them a lot since he follows almost all american sports (we are spanish). This sport became my new special interest the other day (I'm autistic and my autism went brr with it and I am OBSESSED now), it interests me because it is VERY statistic driven, and I love metrics (still learning about them, very confused with some of them and some subtleties like the difference between an At Bat and a Plate Appearance). Hi, I'm Danny and I am very new to baseball and this sub :). This is a decency concern, some people do not deserve to be put on blast because you had a great game.
