Excitement scores for 4/16/2024
What is excitement score?
It is simply the sum of squares of the change in Win Probability Added (WPA) of each at-bat as defined by Baseball Reference. Exciting plays scale exponentially, so a WPA change of 5% is worth 25 points of excitement score, but a WPA change of 50% is worth 2500 points.
