Reading the table
Every number is Created Runs above an RE24 baseline built from the 2026 season. The table covers the 205 hitters with at least 400 PA. The Total / Per 600 PA switch above the table shows every column after PA as a season total or scaled to 600 plate appearances.
Created Runs (CR)
Total Created Runs, batting plus running.
Batting
- bCR
- Created Runs from batting.
- Batted Ball Quality
- Expected runs from each ball in play, given its exit velocity, launch angle and spray angle, in an average base-out state.
- Hit Luck
- How much more or less a line drive, fly ball or popup was worth than its contact deserved: a blooper falling in, or a hard liner caught. Includes defensive quality and park factors. Valued in an average base-out state.
- BB, HBP, K
- Runs from walks (intentional included), hit-by-pitches and strikeouts, each at its league-average value.
- State Context
- What the base-out state added to or took from every plate appearance, Hit Luck included: a bases-loaded walk is worth about three bases-empty ones. The hitter does not choose the state, and this does not carry over from one season to the next.
Running
- rCR
- Created Runs from running the bases.
- Home-to-First
- How much more or less a ground ball was worth than its contact deserved: beating out the throw, or being thrown out on a grounder that should have been a hit. Valued in an average base-out state.
- BsR
- Extra bases taken or given away on balls in play, against the average runner from the same spot and batted ball quality, each at its league-average value.
- SB
- Runs from stolen bases, each at its league-average value.
- CS+PO
- Runs lost to times caught stealing and pickoffs, each at its league-average value.
- State Context
- What the base-out state added to or took from every running play: a steal of second is worth more than twice as much with no outs as with two. Like the batting State Context, it does not carry over from one season to the next.
