Yup. And there is a vast differential between the best and average, and even more vast between the best and the worst.
OAA tries to capture that, and it shows our D has produced 45-65 less than our top 4 competitors.
60 outs is about a 20 point swing on a FT player's BA. Taking about that off our team BA. we'd move from 3rd to 15th in the rankings.
Last night was not the first time those who use only eyesight to make determinations saw our D flat out lose a game. Nothing else led to the loss more than our D.
That should happen 2-3 times a year, not 8-12.
