		Wolverton's statistic, called inherited runs prevented, not only counts the pieces of runs a reliever either saves or allows, but also adjusts for runners he may bequeath to a pitcher who follows him.

		Batting average is a statistic to assess the performance of baseball hitters and their ability to hit.

		Once again the strong point of the relief corps has been their ability to prevent inherited runners from scoring, allowing only two of fourteen to score this week.
		Once again, walks were their undoing here, and were a big reason why they allowed 35.6% (.356 OBP) of these batters to reach base.
		The biggest problem facing the Mets' staff this season has been their inability to limit the walks, and this runs up the ladder from starting pitchers to middle relief to the closer.

	August 6, 2004 - Reliever Evaluation Tools Report
		This report rates relievers according to a variety of metrics, all of which are based on the notion of run expectation -- how many runs are expected to score given the bases/outs state when the reliever entered and/or left the game.
		The advantage of these metrics is that they do a reasonable job of handling two factors that are poorly handled by traditional statistics based on runs charged: how the reliever handles his inherited runners, and the support the reliever gets when he turns runners over to others.
		Overall reliever performance is measured by Adjusted Runs Prevented (ARP), a park-adjusted extension to a tool developed by Gary Skoog and Steve Schulman, which measures how run expectation changes between the time the reliever enters the game and the time he exits.
