I still don't get or know of most of Sabermetrics (the modern statistics of baseball).
Like, if Andrew Benentendi of the Boston Red Sox finished the 2018 MLB regular season with a cumulative -0.6 Defensive Wins Above Replacement (dWAR), then why would He be nominated for a 2018 MLB Gold Glove Award?
With Sabermetrics (and a lot of other things in my life) I wait to do research until I am fairly sure it will payoff or until there are competing things which can't all be true given my understandings of how things work. I'm going to have to figure out why Defensive WAR and the Gold Gloves' system don't seem to be measuring the same things when it comes to defense and fielding in Major League Baseball.
