Some counting stat conversions for shortened season

Featured Replies

team wins 

90 wins = 33 wins

100 wins = 37

hitter stats

30 HR = 11

40 HR = 15

50 HR= 19

200 hits = 74

100 RBI/runs = 37

120 RBI = 44

pitcher stats

20 wins = 7 wins

200 k = 74

300k= 111

40 saves = 15

50 saves = 19

Math is simply /162 ×60 or /2.7, values rounded

Which major "milestones" could sox players reach? Anyone 15 homers or 40 RBI? Or 74 hits?

I think 7 wins is quite possible for someone who has a good season.

 

I think we're going to see some outlandish numbers. Some player or team gets hot for extended run smack dab in the middle of this 60 games, they're going to go way beyond these thresholds. Here's some of my predictions:

45(121 equivalent)win season

30 hr(81)season

70(189)RBI season

.390+ hitter

9-0(24-0) season by pitcher

Are we going to see less of the arguments of so and sos BABIP is unsustainable?  Because it sure might be sustainable in a shortened season.  Anyone going to hit .400?  So much to get excited about.  I cannot wait for the season to get going.

I wonder if teams that get off to a bad start really pack it in.  From a management perspective a bad team won't effect your gate if there are no fans.  Will the 2021 draft order be based off 2020 records?

Thanks for doing this...it gives a ton of perspective.

I think there is no doubt that we have some pretty big flukes just because of small sample size.  I think at least one team wins 40+ games, and it wouldn't shock me to see someone push .400.

Hitting .400 would be a footnote of the season, not an actual all time accomplishment. Hitting .400 in early June, as rare as that’s been- nobody really expects that to last...and hasn’t for 79 years. it probably won’t happen anyway with loaded pens and starters emptying the tank more, only having to make 12 starts instead of 33.

It is still not really sustainable because even in a 10 week season a player could have 3 weeks of a .200 babip after 7 weeks of a .400 babip.

But the chance that you make it through a season with a 400 babip of course increases but that goes both ways, could also be a true talent 300 babip guy has a 220 babip.

But still if a player has posted a 400 babip he is not expected to continue that, there is just less time to fall back to earth.
