Frequently Asked Questions:
What is considered a good Runs Created value?
A good Runs Created value can vary depending on the league and era, but generally, an RC of 100 or more over a full season is considered excellent. Top offensive players might exceed 120 or even 140 RC in a season.
How does Runs Created relate to other offensive stats?
Runs Created correlates well with other comprehensive offensive stats like OPS (On-base Plus Slugging) and wOBA (Weighted On-base Average). It's more predictive of run production than individual stats like batting average or home runs alone.
Can Runs Created be used to compare players from different eras?
While Runs Created can be used to compare players from different eras, it's important to consider the context of each era, including factors like ballpark effects, overall league offense levels, and rule changes. Some advanced versions of RC attempt to account for these factors.
