Total player rating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Total player rating (TPR) is a metric for measuring the value of baseball players, and to enable players to be compared against each other even when they played for different teams, at different positions, and in different eras. |
 | | Total player rating is computed using linear weights, in which each event in a baseball game (for instance, a base on balls, a double or a stolen bases) is assigned a value in runs. |
 | | Each player then has a rating in Batting Runs, Pitching Runs, and Fielding Runs, usually adjusted for park and position, and the sum of these values is divided by 10 and is expressed as an offset in games from an "average" baseball player. |
