I have a confession to make. I've been lying to you all with baseball stats. Now it's time to tell you all my secrets. Baseball stats like AVG and ERA are easy to lie with, because they aren't park-adjusted stats or era-adjusted stats like OPS+ or ERA+. Baseball defensive metrics are can also be used to obfuscate the truth. Fielding Percentage is a bad stat, but even Defensive Runs Saved and Statcast Outs Above Average can be manipulated for the narrative.
And that's honestly what we're doing here: playing narrativeball. We're taking a look at MLB players like Ken Griffey Jr., Jacob deGrom, Dustin Pedroia, Craig Biggio, Yordan Alvarez, Jeff Conine, and even player from many years ago named Roy Cullenbine. Indeed, what happened to 1947 Roy Cullenbine ties in with a point I'm making.
I hope you'll all enjoy this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production that has absolutely nothing to do with Tesla. Hopefully you'll learn how to use baseball analytics and baseball sabermetrics to spot baseball lies in the future.

You won't believe it. I found Elon Musk livestreaming on a very popular RU-vid channel, so I sent him a phishing email and he totally fell for it. I took over control of his Tesla channel immediately. My current scam is to occasionally upload video essays about baseball sabermetrics, earning me ad revenue and Patreon subscribers in the process. Again, total scam, but it's working.

@@HKim0072 Yes it does. It uses sports stats to show that just because someone can say something using stats doesn't make it true or necessarily relevant. This teaches critical thinking skills which are severely lacking in today's world. Scammers cash in on the lack of critical thinking and the lack of ability to parse statistics/metrics. The media and politicians use out of context numbers to fool people constantly. Things like crime, homeless, immigration and environment statistics are constantly used out of context to scare people or keep people from understanding. Data manipulation is a major issue in today's world because *it works*. Folks don't know how to understand statistics.

Hey, you might've noticed that you aren't subscribed to my channel anymore. Here's why: about a week ago, I fell for a phishing email scam, losing control of the channel in the process. The hacker then used my channel to livestream some sort of Elon Musk/Tesla related cryptocurrency scam. Basically, you checked you sub feed, rightfully though to yourself "well I never subscribed to that!" And then unsubscribed. The good news is, I'm back and ready to crank content throughout the MLB season. So if you liked what you saw, good ahead and subscribe. I won't let my channel be compromised again.

The earlier quote this was inspired by re: data manipulation would be interesting to apply to saber too. Less about the presentation/arrangement of the truths in the story, which is very interesting in its own right, and more about stresses applied to the underlying data itself to find a conclusion. Eg are the parameters defining ERA+ even that indicative of performance? Baseball is weirdly a lot closer to drilling down to cause effect than most sports, but it’s also got easily the most factors affecting final outcome beyond one players control. This concept here though is a super useful way to think about any data presented - good stuff

@@ronondechek14 media blackouts are extremely strict in the MLB which means a lot of the younger generation has no way to easily watch the MLB. NHL had a major youth interest problem in the early 2010s and they fixed it by adding more streaming options (which resulted in me, youth at the time, becoming a hockey fan) and it worked. They've been increasing since. For the MLB you're forced to buy a cable box and plan if you want to watch your home town team and people my age and younger would never do that. Accessibility also means having the MLB make a major effort in funding equipment programs for families that can't afford it since baseball is super expensive.

I’m _sooooooo_ glad I had the privilege to watch 4 Pedro Martinez starts in person while he was in his prime. Omg, if you never experienced it or never saw how electric the city got on Pedro games, you missed out. I’ve never experienced anything like it. As well as the INSANE atmosphere, when he hit the mound you _KNEW_ he was going to strike out at least 12-15 guys and put on a pitching clinic. He was truly special.

Outstanding video! Although baseball is my favorite sport, I don't follow it as closely as I once did - and my interest has been more in the numbers than in the actual season-to-season play. It's funny, I was thinking about baseball analytics earlier before I saw your video in the queue on my home screen. I was thinking about CROWS - my coining - for, "Consensus Ratings Options Wins." I mentioned it on a different channel, but haven't followed through on developing it. I have reservations about WAR because, although I don't consider myself a disciple of Bill James, I believe he has a legitimate argument against the, "above replacement," basis that I believe evolved from Pete Palmer's, "above average," basis prior. Yet, Bill James originated the, "above replacement," concept decades ago, so I guess we could be charged with some hypocrisy here. Most of us agree that the numbers don't tell the whole story. That's why I took this diversion to see how you addressed the issue. You did a good job in 18 minutes!

I no longer watch baseball because the on field product bores me but this video perfectly illustrates why I still follow closely. I obsessed with the minutiae of stats.
