As usual switched up the stats used. This week, I added Statcast/Savant Run Values, as well as RV/100. Figured they could better and more accurately display what the player did.
For hitters, removed High Leverage basic stats, as I realized that fangraphs custom leaderboards (not split leaderboards) don’t allow for multiple splits, like I was using. This means that the high leverage stats I was getting were inaccurate, and besides, the most High Leverage PAs anybody had were 4. Do expect these to return at the end of the month, though.
As for Pitchers, just removed Fangraphs RA9-WAR, as PRV and RA9-WAR accomplished nearly the same thing.
Honorable Mention goes to Ronel Blanco, as him and Verlander had the same basic stuff (1 GS, 6 IP, 2 ER), but I gave Verlander the edge for other stats.
Was suprised to see Rafael Montero of all people on here, but I guess that’s the point of this. To recognize players that had good weeks, even if it didn’t seem like it.
**Last thing, if a stat is bolded, that means that it was more heavily weighted in deciding this.** Though I do this all manually, certain stats matter more/less to me, and that was my way of conveying it
