I'm a rather huge baseball fan (mostly the Cardinals, but I mix in doses of the Rays--great young team I've been following for years--and the D-Backs--home town--liberally), and fantasy baseball player. Prior to last season (2008), I was preparing for a league draft and wanted to find an "edge." I fancy myself as somewhat of a savant when it comes to baseball stats (complete with snobbery towards stats like RBI's and batting average), but had yet to find that one "perfect" stat--the one that quantifies a player's offensive output completely (BB's, SB's, etc, etc.). From this fruitless search, BPA, or, Bases per Plate Appearance, was born.
BPA is a statistic of my making (it's pitching counterpart, BPAA, is as well). I believe it very accurately creates a number (comprable to SLG) for each player that can be compared to other players. Its output shows what a given player can be expected to contribute to his team per each plate appearance.
Variables involved include: 1b, 2b, 3b, hr, bb, hbp, ibb, sb, cs, pickoff, gdp, sf, sh, and k's. These are all fed into a formula of sorts (different items are valued differently) which results in the statistic. It is a (almost daily) work in progress--still trying to properly value everything, updates will be posted here when applicable.
