I am working on some league-adjusted numbers. Below you will find 2019 on-base percentage for qualified batters relative to the major league average (without pitchers) – shown as a percentage above league average, e.g. Mike Trout led with an on-base percentage that is 34.0 percent better than league average.

This is simply a beta run – and to be honest, I am not even sure if anyone else has ever done this – but my intention is to eventually adjust by position and then by every individual pitcher faced in each plate appearance; however, at least for on-base percentage, I do not think that I will use a ballpark factor; though, I may consider it.
End state will be to provide these numbers – likely others, e.g. home run percentage – both historically, daily in season, and eventually live… if I can manage to figure that one out.
Any feedback (or help) is more than welcome, if you haven’t done so yet, please tweet me or comment below by signing up for the site – it is still free, for now…
Thank you!
