How did you come up with the Production Index formula that determines the top 10 hitters and pitchers of each league every year under “Leaders & Numbers”?
This will probably put frowns on the faces the likes of Bill James, but the Production Index is something that has been carefully thought over and massaged into its purest form. The discussion and defending of its merits could warrant a whole page (that page exists by clicking here), but in a nutshell it’s a combined measuring of statistics both qualitative and quantitative to determine who’s the most productive in each league both at the plate and on the mound. Any controversy aside, the Production Index for each year will be prefaced with a written introduction that will better orient the reader with the names and bring a human face to the numbers.
