"The Ultimate Major League Baseball book series brings you the Detroit Tigers: Michigan's favorite sports team. A book that chronicles the history of the Detroit Tiger major-league baseball franchise. Relive the past through yearly reviews that recap each season month by month, including information on hitting, pitching, and defense. There are player and pitcher of the year selections, break out boxes for decade hitting and pitching leaders. Each decade has player and pitcher of the decade selections, with all-decade teams and pitching staffs presented. A new analytical evaluation is introduced to compare players from all eras. Most Effective Hitter (MEH) considers offensive proficiency (OBP, SLG, OPS, OPS+, TA, BOP, GPA, BA, BABIP, SECA, IP%, RS%, ISO, TBA, BPA) for a comprehensive evaluation. Most Effective Pitcher (MEP) considers pitching metrics (ERA+, FIP, DICE, WHIP, PWAR) to determine the best on the mound. MEH and MEP were used to determine the all-time teams and depth charts for players (top-150 and top-10 by position) and pitchers (top-100, top-50 starters, and top-50 relievers). Yearly and decade hitting and pitching leaders from 1901 through 2020 are included. The top 100 all-time hitting and pitching leaders by category are featured. Statistics from the traditional to the sabermetric data of today is provided for 65 offensive and 35 pitching areas. From Cobb to Cabrera, it is all there, as the Detroit Tigers: Michigan's favorite sports team book would be a valuable addition to any library. Whether an individual is a casual fan or a savvy baseball enthusiast, the reader will enjoy many hours learning more about their favorite ball club. Statistics have become a standard for every athletic event that exists. The vast numerical data utilized in the game of baseball is far more than for any other sport. That information is used for various purposes by teams and their fans at all levels of play around the world ranging from the little leagues to professional baseball. The standard data documents overall numbers for games and seasons. The relatively new sabermetrics analyze and evaluate in-game and seasonal batting, pitching, and fielding stats to determine how much a player contributes to a team. The yearly hitting leaders require a player to have played in 100 games or 300 plate appearances, with all-time leaders requiring either 400 games played or 1,400 plate appearances. Pitching yearly leaders must have started 15 games or appeared in 50 games, with 40 games started or 300 games pitched for all-time leader boards. All will be listed for cumulative totals as appropriate. There are statistics with multiple formulae to achieve a desired result and may differ from those herein. I regret any errors discovered as you peruse this version of Tiger history"-- Provided by publisher.
