LWTS= .47*1B + .78*2B + 1.09*3B + 1.4*HR + .33*(BB+HB) +.3*SB -.52*CS - .26*(AB-H-GIDP)-.72*GIDP

~63.5% success rate for break even SB% all time
1901-1920: ~62.5%
1921-1940: ~64%
1941-1960: ~65.5%
1961-1977: ~63%

(Stolen Base Runs: ~62.5%)
(Palmer's Batting Runs: ~66.5%)

 

Runs Created

bRC (Basic Runs Created) = ((H+BB)*TB)/(AB+BB)

tRC (Runs Created TECH-1) = A*B/C where:

A = (H+ BB + HP - GIDP - CS)

B = [ TB + ((BB + HB - IBB)*.26) + .52(SB + SH + SF) ]

C = (AB + BB + HB + SH + SF)


RC/G =        27*RC

          AB-H+GIDP+CS+SH+SF


R% = Runs Scored Per Time On Base = (R-HR)/(H+BB+HBP-HR)
