Productive Outs Revisitedby Larry MahnkenJune 17, 2004 ESPN, which started tracking DIPS with their regular pitching stats a few weeks back, has now started tracking Productive Outs. Ahh well, it can't all be progress. For those interested, here are the correlations for some of the stats tracked: Wins to Total Productive Outs: -.316 Wins to Total Productive Out Opportunities: .168 Losses to Productive Outs Allowed: .205 Losses to Productive Out Opportunities Against: .340 Productive Out Percentage to Winning Percentage: -.485 Productive Out Percentage Against to Winning Percentage: .002 The more productive outs you make, the more likely you are to lose. The more often the outs you make are productive, the more likely you are to lose. This is a waste of ESPN's server space. Larry Mahnken is a staff writer for The Hardball Times, and co-editor of the Replacement Level Yankees Weblog. You can contact him with your comments, questions, romantic propositions and incoherent rantings at DLMahnken@hardballtimes.com. Commenting is not available in this weblog entry.
