Equivalent Average (EqA) is a baseball metric invented by Clay Davenport[1], and intended to express the production of hitters in a context independent of park and league effects. It represents a hitter's productivity using the same scale as batting average. Thus, a hitter with an EqA over .300 is a very good hitter, while a hitter with an EqA of .220 or below is poor. An EqA of .260 is defined as league average. Baseball on the professional, amateur, and youth levels is popular in North America, Central America, parts of South America, parts of the Caribbean, and East Asia. ...

Batting average is a statistic in both cricket and baseball measuring the performance of cricket batsmen and baseball hitters, respectively. ...
EqA is one of several sabermetric approaches which validated the notion that minor league hitting statistics can be useful measurements of Major League ability. It does this by adjusting a player's raw statistics for park and league effects. This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ...
It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Minor League Baseball. ...
Major League Baseball (MLB) is the highest level of play in North American professional baseball. ...
For instance, the Pacific Coast League is a minor league known to be a very friendly venue for hitters. Therefore, a hitter in the PCL may have notably depressed raw statistics (a lower batting average, fewer home runs, etc.) if he were hitting in another league at the same level. Additionally, in general the level of competition at the PCL is lower than that in the Majors, so a hitter in the PCL would likely have lesser raw statistics in the Majors. EqA is thus useful to strip certain illusions from the surface of players' raw statistics. The Pacific Coast League (PCL) is a minor league baseball league operating in the West and Midwest of the United States. ...

EqA is a derivative of Raw EqA, or REqA. REqA is (H + TB + 1.5*(BB + HBP + SB) + SH + SF) divided by (AB + BB + HBP + SH + SF + CS + SB). REqA in turn is adjusted to account for league difficulty and scale to create EqA.
EqA is similar to Major League Equivalency (MLE), a metric developed by Bill James. George William “Bill†James (born October 5, 1949 in Holton, Kansas) is a baseball writer, historian and statistician whose work has been widely influential. ...
EqA has been used for several years by the authors of the Baseball Prospectus. It is also one of the statistics predicted for each hitter in Baseball Prospectus's annual PECOTA forecasts. Baseball Prospectus, sometimes abbreviated as BP, is a think-tank focusing on the statistical analysis of the sport of baseball, which is also known as sabermetrics. ...
PECOTA, an acronym for Player Empirical Comparison and Optimization Test Algorithm, is a sabermetric system for predicting Major League Baseball player performance. ...
Idiots
Some methamphetamine intoxicated idiots see this stat's formula as "EqA = (((((((((2 * ((TB + H + 1.5 * (BB + HBP + SB) + SH + SF) / (AB + BB + HBP + SH + SF + CS + SB)) / ((Lg_TB + Lg_H + 1.5 * (Lg_BB + Lg_HBP + Lg_SB) + Lg_SH + Lg_SF) / (Lg_AB + Lg_BB + Lg_HBP + Lg_SH + Lg_SF + Lg_CS + Lg_SB))) - 1) * PA * (Lg_R / Lg_PA))^1.8) / ((((((2 * ((TB + H + 1.5 * (BB + HBP + SB) + SH + SF) / (AB + BB + HBP + SH + SF + CS + SB)) / ((Lg_TB + Lg_H + 1.5 * (Lg_BB + Lg_HBP + Lg_SB) + Lg_SH + Lg_SF) / (Lg_AB + Lg_BB + Lg_HBP + Lg_SH + Lg_SF + Lg_CS + Lg_SB))) - 1) * PA * (Lg_R / Lg_PA))^1.8) + (PA * Lg_R / Lg_PA * ParkRF)^1.5)))) / (1 - ((((((2 * ((TB + H + 1.5 * (BB + HBP + SB) + SH + SF) / (AB + BB + HBP + SH + SF + CS + SB)) / ((Lg_TB + Lg_H + 1.5 * (Lg_BB + Lg_HBP + Lg_SB) + Lg_SH + Lg_SF) / (Lg_AB + Lg_BB + Lg_HBP + Lg_SH + Lg_SF + Lg_CS + Lg_SB))) - 1) * PA * (Lg_R / Lg_PA))^1.8) / ((((((2 * ((TB + H + 1.5 * (BB + HBP + SB) + SH + SF) / (AB + BB + HBP + SH + SF + CS + SB)) / ((Lg_TB + Lg_H + 1.5 * (Lg_BB + Lg_HBP + Lg_SB) + Lg_SH + Lg_SF) / (Lg_AB + Lg_BB + Lg_HBP + Lg_SH + Lg_SF + Lg_CS + Lg_SB))) - 1) * PA * (Lg_R / Lg_PA))^1.8) + (PA * Lg_R / Lg_PA * ParkRF)^1.5)))))^.2) * .26" while they still think too highly of themselves because they are high.
