Twin's Best in League at "Non-Stolen Base Baserunning"

Sky from BtBS analyzes the BPro Baserunning numbers and finds that the twins are about 15 runs, or 1.5 wins above average in baserunning, not counting stolen and not stolen bases.

Joe Mauer is also 10th in the league in this category, something that confirms what a lot of people think.

A question for Adam Peterson

How does this jive with your data? I think that you had the twins at 8 runs aor so above average, but I’m sure that counted stolen bases. I’m thinking that a lot or all of this would fall into the “little things” category – taking extra bases as a result of a well placed single or bunt… where your system would give credit to the batter for the placement of the hit, and BPro’s would give it to the runner for advancing. Let me know how correct I am on this.

I haven't yet broken out SB and non-SB baserunning

Working on it. I expect to have a post up here within the week focusing on all aspects of base running.

Yes, advancing the extra base would qualify as “little things”, a portion to the hitter (based on league average probability of advancing) and a portion to the runner (remainder). I don’t know how BPro calculates their numbers.
