| Re: Others Batted In
It's what percentage of baserunners were driven in by each batter. So, for instance, 21.85% of all runners that were on-base when Magglio came up to bat last year were driven in by Magglio.
It's indicative of a hitter's success in driving in runners. The fact that it's a percentage and not just an overall number (like RBIs) levels the playing field, since the clean-up hitter for the Red Sox will have many more opportunities to drive runners in than the #9 hitter for the Royals, and thus would be much more likely to have a ton of RBIs, even if the players were of equal caliber |
