Individual Offensive Rating (IOR)= (Hits + BB + HR + SB) / Plate-Appearances

*Note that BBs include IBB and HBP*

Description: The Individual Offensive Rating measures a players independent offensive production.  IOR was constructed to determine a players offensive, statistical value, which is independent to their individual performance.  IOR is an important and unique statistic because I designed it to incorporate all of the valuable, offensive aspects of a players game.  There are four primary criteria that are taken into consideration when determining a player’s individual offensive value.  These criteria being mobility on the base paths, power, contact, and patience.  To assess each of these aspects I include Stolen Bases, Home Runs, Hits, and Walks, respectively.


  • Net Individual Offensive Rating (NetIOR)= ((H + HR + BB + SB) - (GDP + CS + K)) / PA

Offensive Team Contribution Rating (OTCR)= (RBI + Runs + SAC) / Plate-Appearances

*Note that SAC includes both Sacrifice Flies and Sacrifices Bunts*

Description: The Offensive Team Contribution Rating measures a players ability to knock in other runners, ability to score, and ability to move base runners.  All of the constituent statistics of the OTCR are values that are partially dependent upon the other players in the line-up.  The OTCR was specifically created for the purpose of isolating a players offensive, statistical value, with consideration of the assistance from their respective line-ups.  OTCR displays a players ability to capitalize on auspicious offensive situations (i.e. Runners on Base, RISP).

Offensive Production Rating (OPR)= (IOR + OTCR)^2 + (IOR - OTCR)^2

Description:  The Offensive Production Rating effectively combines both a players individual offensive value and team contribution offensive value.  OPR is weighted in such a way that IOR takes precedence and more weight.  This is because IOR helps discern which players are offensive instigators, whereas OTCR distinguishes complimentary offensive players.  However, both are important, thus the OPR statistic.
