The World's Stupidist Stat

Posted By: Andrew Parks

The box score on ESPN.go.com is reporting no hold for Ohlman but a hold for Marmol:

http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=270719116

The hold isn't a bad statistic.

The most OVERRATED stat is batting average. Batting average says that 1B=2B=3B=HR and BB=0. It is an overrated statistic because way too much is made of its worth. It basically tells how many times a guy puts a ball in play safely and that's it. It is valuable but not as valuable as baseball history would like us to think.
