DylanBradbury Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I couldn't find my original post for when I first created this program, so I made a new one.... No users can calculate a batter's bunting, plate discipline, durability, stealing aggressiveness, and baserunning ability ratings. The program can be downloaded here. If you have any questions or comments, they can be asked here. Here is a chart for the new ratings converting them from the 0-15 scale to the 0-100 scale: 15 100 14 95 13 90 12 85 11 80 10 75 9 70 8 65 7 60 6 55 5 50 4 40 3 30 2 20 1 10 0 0 Enjoy!

lyon810 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Quick question, where can we find the number of GDP in the game so that it can be applied to this chart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanBradbury Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Quick question, where can we find the number of GDP in the game so that it can be applied to this chart?In the last column on any player page at baseball reference, you can find the number of GDPS. The chart is for if you want to convert any of the new ratings such as Plate Discipline or Durability into the 0-100 range. Hope this helps!

jerm Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thanks for the calculator. I think some of the ratings may be a bit harsh especially for the minor league portion. Also the speed always seems like it's about 10 lower than it should be. Thats just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to let you know, the correlation between statistics and the ratings is above 98%, so they should be pretty accurate. But, if you feel they are about 10 lower than they should be for speed, just add ten. Take care, and thanks again for downloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InSainn Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Dylan, I was wondering... are your rating calculators designed for just a single seasons stats, career stats or a 3 year span? Or anything else for that matter. Seems like if I go with more than one years worth of stats everyone has a durability rating of 15... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm finding similar results now with the baserunning ability. When I enter in multiple seasons, unless a guy has REALLY bad baserunning stats it outputs a 15.

tebjr Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Dylan, Great work on your programs. I've got a question, and I don't really know if this is even possible, but is there a way to write the program so that it would be able to pull stats up from Baseball-Reference, MLB.com, etc.? Maybe individual players by year? Lets say I wanted to pull up Tom Glavine's stats for 1998, could I just put his name and year in, and the program pull his stats up and put them in the appropriate boxes? If possible, it would save roster makers loads of time. Like I said, I'm not really sure if it can be done, just thought I'd ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically, what do you think of the Defensive Calculator? In regards to your question, I'm sure somehow, it is possible. However, I taught myself VB and therefore my knowledge is quite low. Parsing through a website's database might be a little bit of a challenge right now. Maybe in a few years? Sorry to disappoint. Thanks again, Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it would be a big undertaking to tap into a website like that. Especially considering we're talking over 100 years of stats and players. The only thing I've found so far with the Defensive Calculator is that most relievers come out with a 15 in fielding, range, and throwing strength. Pretty much no matter what the stats are, they are always 15. Otherwise, great program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InSainn Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Dylan, just a quick suggestion about the defensive ratings calculator... Let me ask you, have you ever been playing MVP and seen the pitcher snag a line drive heading into center field? I'm sure you have, we all have, and it happens WAY too often in MVP. Am I right? Well, I've found that if I set the fielding and range values for pitchers no higher than 3 I no longer see that happening. Bounders go right through the pitchers' legs and they duck and flail their glove at line drives to no avail but they do manage to field bunts, slow rollers and check swing hits just like you'd expect em to. So maybe this is something you'd like to incorporate into the calculator, maybe not, but I swear to you, it makes for a much more realistic game.

Are you finding their ratings accurate? Any other positions giving erroneous ratings? Thanks tebjr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the tips,but having all the pitcher's ratings from 0 to 3 would cause Gold Glove Pitchers (Greg Maddux) to be like all the other pitchers. (No offence intended). If you feel like 3 should be the max for pitcher's you should incorporate it into your rosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel like 3 should be the max for pitcher's you should incorporate it into your rosters. Well, basically, what I've done is if I got a rating of 1-5 for a pitcher, I give him a 1, if I get a 6-10 rating I give him a 2 and if I get an 11-15 rating I give him a 3. Then for pitchers who are year in-year out gold glove winners like Maddux I might bump em up to a 5... keep in mind that alot of a pitchers fielding stats are based purely on luck, especially anything to do with range factor because there's just no way to have any kind of actual range when you're still following through with your pitching motion...

I also changed the second basemen's formulas, I think they were a little too high. Thanks again for the tips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebjr Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Dylan, I've got another idea I'd like to throw out for you. What about setting all the stats, except games played, so that we could be able to put in splits for them. I'm not sure if you'd need to change or refine any of your formulas to make it work. Maybe something like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanBradbury Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hey tebjr, I appreciate the idea, but The Batter Rating Calculator has a near perfect correlation, without entering total split stats. It should give pretty accurate results. Thanks for the idea though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emath2432 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I really like the ratings I get from this one. Also, as you tweak the defensive one, it's getting better and better. I'd be using it now but my g/f got the computer before I did, and is playing bejeweled on it. I am on my "work horse" PC where I do everything but gaming... Maybe later...
