About MLB Rankings

MLB rankings utilize a comprehensive approach that combines both batter and pitcher statistics to assess team performance. For batters, key metrics such as batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, and runs batted in are used to evaluate their offensive contributions. On the other side, pitcher stats like earned run average, strikeouts per nine innings, walks plus hits per inning pitched, and record are used to measure pitching effectiveness. By analyzing both aspects of the game, rankings provide a well-rounded perspective on a team's overall strengths and weaknesses, allowing fans and analysts to gauge their competitiveness within the league.
