Frequently Asked Questions:
What is considered a good Power-Speed Score?
A Power-Speed Score of 20 or above over a full season is generally considered very good. Elite players with a rare combination of power and speed might exceed 30 or even 40.
How does Power-Speed Score relate to overall player value?
While Power-Speed Score highlights a specific combination of skills, it doesn't necessarily correlate directly with overall player value. It's most useful for identifying players with a unique blend of power and speed, but doesn't account for other important factors like batting average or defensive skills.
Can a player have a high Power-Speed Score without being particularly good at either home runs or stolen bases?
It's unlikely. The Power-Speed Score is designed to reward balance between home runs and stolen bases. A player needs to be at least moderately good at both to achieve a high score. A player who excels in one category but is very poor in the other will have a lower score.
