SOM Formulas
Revisited with Hi All! Heys!
--
So, here is a review of
what we know about some formulas that help create the
SOM Model:
FORMULA
#1: BATTER'S WALK somW = (((W - IW) * 216) / (AB + ( W -
IW) + HBP)) -9
FORMULA
#2: HIT BY PITCH somHBP = ((HBP * 216) / (AB + (W - IW)
+ HBP))
FORMULA
#3: BATTER'S HIT somH = ((( BA - .265 ) + BA ) * ( 108 -
( somW + somHBP )
FORMULA
#4: BATTER'S DOUBLE somD = (( 4320 * DOUBLE ) / ( AB + (
W - IW ) + HBP ) - 90
FORMULA
#5: BATTER'S TRIPLE somT = (( 4320 * TRIPLE ) / ( AB + (
W - IW ) + HBP ) - 15
FORMULA
#6: BATTER'S HOMERUN somHR = (( 4320 * HOMERUN ) / ( AB
+ ( W - IW ) +
FORMULA
#7: BATTER'S PATTERN CHART see previous articles
FORMULA
#8: BATTER'S STRIKEOUT somK = (( K * 216 ) / ( AB + ( W
- IW ) + HBP )) -17
FORMULA
#9: BATTER'S GBA somGBA = (( 1140 * DP ) / ( AB + ( W -
IW ) + HBP )
FORMULA
#10: BATTER'S 1ST SB LEAD # som1SB = (( SB / ( SB + CS
)) + .13 ) * 20
FORMULA
#11: BATTER'S 2ND SB LEAD # som2SB = ( 1SB / 3 ) +1
FORMULA
#12: BATTER'S LEAD CHANCES somSBlead = (36 * ( SB + CS
)) / ((( H + ( W - IW ) + HBP ) * .85 ) - ( D + T + HR
))
FORMULA
#13: ASTERISKS som* = @IF ( 1SB + SBlead ) > 24
FORMULA
#14: FIELDING ERRORS somE = ( E * 1458 ) / INNINGS
FIELDED ( at that pos )
FORMULA
#15: PITCHER'S TBF pTBF = ( IP * 2.95 ) + HITS + ( W -
IW )
FORMULA
#16: PITCHER'S WALK sompW = (( W - IW ) * 216 ) / ( TBF
- IW )) - 9
FORMULA
#17a: PITCHER'S HIT sompH = ((( HIT / TBF ) * 216 ) -
29.4 ) + XF (XF = Xchart FACTOR; DEFAULT = 4.9)
FORMULA
#17b: PITCHER'S HIT sompH = ((( HIT * ( 168 - sompW ) /
(( TBF - IW ) * .265)) +
FORMULA
#18: PITCHER'S DOUBLE sompD = (( D * 216 ) / (TBF - IW
)) - 90
PRE 1990
FORMULA
#18 psomD = psomHR * 1.8
FORMULA
#19: PITCHER'S TRIPLE sompT = (( T * 216 ) / (TBF - IW
)) - 15
PRE 1990
FORMULA
#19 sompT = sompHR * .4
FORMULA
#20: PITCHER'S HOMERUN sompHR = (( HR * 216 ) / (TBF
- IW)) - 50
FORMULA
#20: PITCHER'S PATTERN CHART see previous issue
FORMULA
#21: PITCHER'S STRIKEOUT sompK = (( K * 216 ) / ( TBF -
IW ))
FORMULA
#22: PITCHER'S HOLD sompHOLD = (( SB / ( SB + CS )) -
.6666 ) * 20
FORMULA
#23: PITCHER'S POINT OF WEAKNESS sompPOW = IP / APP
FORMULA
#24: PITCHER'S ERROR sompERROR = ( E * 1458 ) / IP
FORMULA
#25: PITCHER'S BALK sompBALK = ( BALK * 290 ) / IP
FORMULA
#26: PITCHER'S WILDPITCH sompWILDPITCH = ( WP * 200 ) /
IP
FORMULA
#27: PITCHER'S CLOSER RATINGS sompCLOSE =0=N; 1-3=0;
4-6=1; 7-9=2; 10-14=3; 15-19=4; 20-29=5; >30=6
FORMULA
#28: W POWER HR ADJUSTMENT somHR = (((leagueHR/leaguePA)*20)*(108-somHBP-somW))+somHR(under
10)
FORMULA
#29: SOMStarter
Rule
A pitcher with 33 starts must have
at least 190 innings.
A
pitcher with 32 starts must have at least 193.3 innings.
A
pitcher with 31 starts must have at least 196.7 innings.
A
pitcher with 30 starts must have at least 200 innings.
A pitcher with 29 starts must have at least 220 innings.
FORMULA
#30: BATTER'S BALLPARK SINGLE EFFECT (AVG=10) when
using ">", the Ballpark Single Effect (shown on a
hitter's card), add 0.5 hit for each chance baring a "."
symbol. If ">" is present, usually 5 ">" are present.
If present, add 2.5 hit to the BATTER'S HIT.
FORMULA #31: BATTER'S BALLPARK HOMERUN EFFECT (AVG=10) when using "#", the Ballpark HOMERUN Effect, add .5 hit and 10 HOMERUN to FORMULA #6: BATTER'S HOMERUN somHR for each chance where "#" (a ball park homer) is present. And Finally -- "Is "3" is the new "2"?" So, I'm playing with my Daily Data players, and I look up the following question - Who are the new/unknown 2016 batters in my NETPLAY league with over 200 at bats. The sort resulted in 30 players. When I sorted (using the Player PULLDOWN MENU choosing Sort Players) by lowing the Fielding Rating to a "2" or better, only 1 player - 31yr old Darwin Barney - survives. I know leagues can be progressive about having youth, but none - like no one? Heh! The Daily Data is now creating standards we get to watch and analyze as a new way (in real time) to see Strat-O-Matic cards develop! There is no way I won't be buying this Daily Data feature again this year!!!
