Hi all-
I'm just beginning to calculate arb values. Since the MLB played 37% of a normal season, I'm going to use 37% of the counting stat values as the thresholds when calculating. Note that this means all rate statistics will stay the same but the minimum AB/IP required to qualify for them will be 37% of normal. With non-whole numbers that result from multiplication, I will round down if the decimal is below 0.5 and round up if the decimal is greater than or equal to 0.5 - standard rounding rules. See this example of how I changed the scale for HR to understand how it works:
We start with this:
20-29 HR = $0.75
30-39 HR = $1.50
40-49 HR = $2.25
50+ HR = $3.00
So, I multiply 20 * 0.37 and get 7.40 which rounds down to 7. Now, I multiply 29 * 0.37 and get 10.73 which rounds up to 11. Next, I set the lower limit for the next threshold to be 12. Even though multiplying 30 * 0.37 will not get me to 12, that needs to be the lower limit because it is one higher than the upper limit for the previous tier. Then, I multiply 39 * 0.37 and get 14.43 which rounds down to 14. Repeat this process for the final two buckets
That means the scale values this year will be calculated as follows:
Batting Scale (For rate statistics, player must have at least 93 AB that season - otherwise, not applicable)
7-11 HR = $0.75
12-14 HR = $1.50
15-18 HR = $2.25
19+ HR = $3.00
33-37 RBI = $0.75
38-40 RBI = $1.50
41-44 RBI = $2.25
45+ RBI = $3.00
33-37 R = $0.75
38-40 R = $1.50
41-44 R = $2.25
45+ R = $3.00
7-11 SB = $0.75
12-14 SB = $1.50
15-18 SB = $2.25
19+ SB = $3.00
.280 < Avg < .290 = $0.75
.290 < Avg < .300 = $1.50
.300 < Avg < .310 = $2.25
Avg > .310 = $3.00
.850 < OPS < .900 = $0.75
.900 < OPS < .950 = $1.50
.950 < OPS < 1.000 = $2.25
OPS > 1.000 = $3.00
Starting Pitching Scale (For rate statistics, pitcher must have thrown 37 IP that season - otherwise, not applicable)
A SP needs to have started more than 50% of his appearances; otherwise, he is a RP
5-6 Wins = $0.75M
7-8 Wins = $1.5M
8-9 Wins = $2.25M
10+ Wins = $3M
63-66 K = $0.75
67-70 K = $1.50
71-74 K = $2.25
75+ K = $3.00
3.00 < ERA < 3.30 = $0.75
2.50 < ERA < 3.00 = $1.50
2.00 < ERA < 2.50 = $2.25
ERA < 2.00 = $3.00
1.20 < WHIP < 1.30 = $0.75
1.10 < WHIP < 1.20 = $1.50
1.00 < WHIP < 1.10 = $2.25
WHIP < 1.00 = $3.00
Relief Pitching Scale (For rate statistics, pitcher must have thrown 15 IP that season - otherwise, not applicable)
A RP needs to have appeared in relief at least 50% of his appearances; otherwise, he is a SP
7-11 SV = $0.75
12-14 SV = $1.50
15-18 SV = $2.25
19+ SV = $3.00
7-9 HD = $0.75
10-11 HD = $1.50
12+ HD = $2.25
2.50 < ERA < 3.00 = $0.75
2.00 < ERA < 2.50 = $1.50
ERA < 2.00 = $2.25
1.10 < WHIP < 1.20 = $0.75
1.00 < WHIP < 1.10 = $1.50
WHIP < 1.00 = $2.25
You will add up where they fall in the stats and then will multiply by the following scale:
4th: x 0.6
5th: x 0.8
6th x 1.0
