Extracting individual offensive production from baseball run distributions
Advanced statistical measures are increasingly popular in sports, especially baseball. These measures are used for reasons from contract negotiations to roster changes to award determinations. One of the most popular methods of determining a player`s worth in baseball uses WAR: wins above replacement. The methods described herein work to fine-tune the goals of the offensive component of WAR by evaluating players in the context of their own team`s lineup. This is done by extracting a player`s worth from his team`s simulated run distribution using win probabilities.
