The maximum ISO is 3.000, and can only be attained by hitting a home run in every at-bat. The term "isolated power" was coined by Bill James , but the concept dates back to Branch Rickey and his statistician Allan Roth.
The highest single-season power–speed number was recorded in 2024 by Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers, with 54 home runs and 59 stolen bases for a power-speed number of 56.39. It was previously held by Ronald Acuña Jr. who hit 41 home runs and stole 73 bases in 2023 to record a power–speed number of 52.51.
Unlike batting average, which is a simple ratio of base hits to at bats, secondary average accounts for power (extra base hits), plate discipline , and speed (stolen bases minus times caught stealing). [2] Secondary averages have a higher variance than batting averages.
Speed Score, often simply abbreviated to Spd, is a statistic used in Sabermetric studies to evaluate a baseball player's speed. It was invented by Bill James, and first appeared in the 1987 edition of the Bill James Baseball Abstract.
BB84 is a quantum key distribution scheme developed by Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard in 1984. [1] It is the first quantum cryptography protocol. [2] The protocol is provably secure assuming a perfect implementation, relying on two conditions: (1) the quantum property that information gain is only possible at the expense of disturbing the signal if the two states one is trying to ...
In baseball, wOBA (or weighted on-base average) [1] is a statistic, based on linear weights, [2] designed to measure a player's overall offensive contributions per plate appearance. It is formed from taking the observed run values of various offensive events, dividing by a player's plate appearances, and scaling the result to be on the same ...
On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a sabermetric baseball statistic calculated as the sum of a player's on-base percentage and slugging average. [1] The statistic reflects two important offensive skills: the ability of a player to get on base and to hit for power. Babe Ruth is the all-time leader with a career 1.1636 OPS.
