Making Requests With MAX and MIN

Requests With Ratios

Ratios are one statistic divided by another, such as HR/AB or SO/BB. Since Big
League Baseball records up to 23 statistics for each player, you can create more than
500 ratios for use in list requests. For a list of useful ratios, see Appendix C in this
manual.

Some ratios, however, are not very meaningful, and some are not allowed.
For example. . .

• You can use obscure ratios such as 3B/2B or SV/BB, but the results
may not be useful.

• You can't mix batting and pitching statistics, such as AB/IP or RBI/SV.

• You can't use BA (batting average), ERA (earned run average),
or SLG (slugging percentage) in ratios because they are already ratios.

____________________________________________________________________

1. On the Request menu, press the down arrow key to highlight Maximum
(MAX). Then press the Enter key.

2. On the Statistics menu, press the down arrow key to highlight Pitching Statistic/

3. Press the right arrow key.

You see the Pitching Statistics menu.

4. On the Pitching Statistics menu, press the down arrow key
to highlight a statistical category. Then press the Enter key.

For this example, select Strikeouts (SO).

5. On the Focus Your Request menu, press the Enter key to select Make a ratio (/).

6. On the Statistics menu, press the Enter key to select another statistic.

Try Innings Pitched (IP). You should now see MAX SO/IP on the Request line. MAX
SO/IP asks for the pitchers with the highest strikeout-to-innings-pitched ratio.

7. Press F1 or the Enter key.

Joe Cleary and Jim Mosolf aren't exactly Hall of Famers. The problem is that your
ratio has no lower limit. The next section shows you how to add Limters to requests.

8. When you're done, press the Escape key twice.
