Red Sox Minor League Offense Stats


Red Sox Minor League Offense Stats

I have finally completed the complete offensive statistics for every player from Pawtucket to the Gulf Coast League. For simplicity sake I only included prospects and not rehabbing major league players. The spreadsheet includes traditional and non-traditional numbers like BaseRuns, Runs Created, Gross Production Average, Secondary Average, Equivalent Average, etc.

For fun I decided to run a regression between walk percentage and strikeout percentage among all minor league players in Boston's system this season. The results werw about what I expected, a mild correlation between the two. Below is the scatterplot, with BB% on the Y axis and K% on the X axis. The trend line was y=.0772x+7.659.

The R was .884 and the R-squared was .782. Basically there is a pretty strong positive relationship between K% and BB%, at least among Red Sox prospects.
