Why these advanced stats are unavailable.

This methodology depended on schedule-adjusted team offense and pitching inputs that are under audit. We pulled it because we can't defend every number on it. A number we can't defend doesn't belong in front of you.

Evidence required for publication

  • wRC+, FIP

    • wRC+: Was shown in headlines without a plain-English translation or a defensible college-level scale.
    • FIP: Its league-wide baselines and home-run rates have not been re-checked for Division I play.

    Required for each metric:

    • Named source data feed
    • Exact formula published on /methodology
    • College-level (not MLB) constants and level-of-play fit
    • Minimum sample size stated wherever the number renders
    • Update cadence shown from real metadata, not copy
    • Plain-English glossary entry linked next to every appearance
  • Strength of Schedule

    Computation rules and source poll/data provider undocumented.

    Required for this metric:

    • Named source for opponent data
    • Computation rules published on /methodology
    • Direct vs. derived values labeled wherever shown
    • Sanity checks against known-good seasons
