Value over replacement player - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (534 words) |
 | In baseball, value over replacement player (or VORP) is a statistic which demonstrates how much a player contributes offensively and defensively to his team in comparison to a fictitious "replacement player," who is an average fielder at his position and a below average hitter. |
| The real controversy of VORP surrounds where the replacement level is set; many equations and methods exist for finding the replacement level, but most will set the level somewhere around 80% of the league average, in terms of runs per out. |
| Now multiply that number (of runs) by.8, or whatever level your replacement equations give you; this is the number of runs you could expect a "replacement player" to put up for that number of outs. |
