Explainers
The @UmpScorecards platform relies on three key metrics to analyze umpire performance: accuracy (and expected stats), consistency, and favor. These metrics are calculated in house using algorithms inspired by others in the baseball community and developed by the @UmpScorecards team. To read more about these algorithms and the thought process behind creating them, click on one of the links below.
There are also a few more secondary components that we use in our platform and algorithms that we thought deserved some explanation. Feel free to explore the links below.
