Twitter: @Real_TPNB Facebook: The Power of Numbers in Baseball
Per our series of Power Ranking Posts, I have taken the liberty of compiling the First, Second, and Honorable Mention, All-MLB teams. Remember that our power rankings incorporate all attributes of a players game, this even includes his defensive prowess. So, if a player is not present, who you thought would be present, chances are they are not as versatile as you may have originally perceived. For example, Jose Altuve, who is the best offensive Second Baseman this season, actually has a negative dWAR value, which outweighs his offensive contributions and drops him from the rankings. Also, keep in mind that the earliest power ranking piece dates back to August 3rd, so statistical changes have happened in the mean time. However, I only manipulated the rankings if a player had a significant tapering statistically.
The Power Ranking Pieces are as follows:
Power Rankings: MLB Middle Infielders

Power Rankings (Part IV): MLB Starters and Closers

Please refer to The Inaugural Post for the explanations of both IOR and OTCR. For the updated equation for IOR, refer to Just Some of the G.O.A.T. (By: M. Lessard). I also sought to correct the weight for my equation for OTCR. Having addressed the weight issue, the new equation for OTCR is as follows:
OTCR= (RBI + Runs + SAC) / Plate-Appearances
In the chart above, you must have noticed the Offensive Production Rating column. I made the Offensive Production Rating statistic in order to justly take into consideration both IOR and OTCR. However, IOR is the more important statistic because it deals with a players individual offensive production. The equation I concocted for the Offensive Production Rating is as follows:
OPR= (IOR + OTCR)^2 + (IOR - OTCR)^2
The players who have their names highlighted in green are either top rookies or other players who are having a breakout season this year. Only players in the top 50 I considered for highlighting.
