Show Notes
Economics professor Michael McBride introduces new baseball statistics, Shapley Run Credits and Offensive Shapley Win Credits, to fairly credit players for their contributions. These methods, based on game theory, divide responsibility for runs and wins among all teammates, not just the batter or the player who drove them in. McBrides approach addresses flaws in traditional stats and highlights underappreciated plays, potentially reshaping how we value team efforts in baseball and other sports.
