HOPS: The Player Records

By Andre Lower

Baseball's four batting skills are defined, calculated using Runs Created, and analyzed from 4 different perspectives. Fans can now see how a hitter's Hitting, On Base, Power, and Speed skills stack up against each other. For the last three decades, the old school crowd has seen batting skills from one perspective and the new school sabermetricians from a different angle. The HOPS system merges the two viewpoints of batting skills, producing an easy to understand system. See how many runs were created with each skill, the type of hitter each batter is based on the distribution of skills runs created, production per 600 plate appearances, and single season index ratings. This book takes the next step forward in evaluating batters by the most basic element possible - the HOPS skills. This volume contains the season and career records for over 1,000 players and the career records for over 8,000 more players.
