The Patriot Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 Wheres the best source of official statistics. Best batting Avg Best pitching stats Best on base percentage Most RBI's Most stolen bases Most HR's
Guest patriot117 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 There is no good, accurate source. I know we have one parent that keeps stats on EVERYTHING! But it is up to the coach to give any official stats to the Chronicle or other sources. Baseball stats are so subjective in terms of Batting average, etc... I would bet if you looked at three people who are keeping a "book" at a game, you would see three different scoring's.

Guest patriot117 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 I really wish baseball would go to an "offical" scorer similiar to football. Kind of reminds me of the Little League All-Star picks, when a coach would bring in stats on all of his so-called .900 hitters. I guess it's not cost efficient. Just would be nice.
Guest rambleonus Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 It's all football and then there are other sports.
RIP09 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 I agree. You'll very seldom if ever have 2 people score a game the same way. I keep a book at our games just to be able to post updates about the team. I can guarantee you mine is different many times from the others that are being kept.

I coached little league all the way through and never had a kid hit more than .500 and every year had guys presenting kids with the .600 and above averages that might have had 15 at bats against my team and never had a base hit. It always amazed me how guys came up with their averages.

I actually did coach a kid one year.....14-year old who played league ball because he was cut from the freshman high school team...hit a legtimate .651 for the season............oh, and he pitched also. I used to cringe when I heard the LL scoring a routine pop fly to the OF a hit beacuse the outfielder didn't touch it. ???
