With all the data we collect it is for players to really evaluate their play on process bases system and it helps me make more informed decisions as a coach. It makes things easy to do and it is not based on a coach’s opinion of who is hitting better. There are certain exceptions due to positioning of players, but I would say that 95% of the time, I have the nine highest QAB averages in the line-up. It is factual evidence to support why, or why not, players are in the line-up. With the QAB system, I take the same approach that the top nine hitters are in. They probably do not get too many phone calls or e-mails from the parents of the sixth fastest runner, wondering why he isn’t in the relay.
They merely time the runners and the fastest make it. Nothing is guaranteed, I tell our players, but I like our chances. Our players know the theory behind it, and that if we get to 60%, we rarely lose. It has become something to shoot for within our program. Not terrible, but a far cry from a 95% winning percentage when we are at 60% or above. Over the same five-year span, when we are under 60%, our record is 50-25-4. Marys, when we were at or above 60%, our overall record for JV/Varsity was 235-10-3.
Over the course of five years at Martensdale-St. We keep track of all the same data on JV and varsity. After keeping this data for a number of years, I have found that when it comes to QAB percentage as a team, 60% is the number to aim for.
