Offering an introduction to the basics of sabermetric analysis, this book explains concepts, including normalization, peak versus career performance, linear weights and runs created, as well as popular calculations like OPS, WHIP, PF and others increasingly used by baseball fans.

Sabermetrics, the specialised analysis of baseball through empirical evidence, provides an impartial perspective from which to explore the game. In this work three mathematicians employ statistical science in an attempt to answer some of baseball's toughest questions. Throughout, the objective evidence allows for debate devoid of emotion and personal biases, providing a fresh, balanced evaluation.
