Orioles Stolen Bases
This document uses a sample of every stolen base attempt by the Orioles in 2025 to determine how valuable a stolen base attempt is in different situations.
ERA Predictors
This document looks at every pitcher with 140+ IP in 2024 and 2025, along with their ERAs, xERA, FIP, xFIP, and SIERA, and determines which of these five statistics are the best at predicting future ERAs.
The Importance of Chase Rate
This video explains an Excel document I made that highlights thirty random MLB players’ Chase Rates and On-Base Percentages. I calculated an expected OBP using only Chase Rate. From here, I calculated expected runs to find the importance of Chase Rate.
