Correlation between Baserunning and Basestealing (December 10, 2003)

Posted 9:19 p.m., December 10, 2003 (#16) - Ted T,
These results are all what theory predicts... cf. the theory paper I wrote which was primated (or I guess it was a clutch hit back then, this was March or so) in the spring. SB and CS *should* be highly correlated, because success percentage should (as it does) have a narrow distribution in the population, but attempt percentage should (as it does) have a skewed distribution in the population. So CS *should* be very informative about baserunning ability.

The other paper of mine which tango primated early November makes essentially the same point as the post which started this thread.
