What were some of the modern batting stats for baseball player Christy Mathewson in 1903?
In 1903, Christy Mathewson played for the New York Giants. On Base Percentage (OBP) is considered by many to be a better measure of a great hitter than the Batting Average. It is calculated with the formula (Hits + Walks + Hit by Pitch) / (At Bats + Walks + Hit by Pitch + Sacrifice Flies). In 1903, Christy Mathewson had 124 at bats, 28 hits, 8 walks, and was hit by the pitch 1 time. Sacrifice flies weren't counted before 1954. That gives him an On Base Percentage of .278. Slugging Percentage (SLG) is a popular measure of a batter's power. It is calculated as (Total Bases) / (At Bats). Another way to look at it is (Singles + 2 x Doubles + 3 x Triples + 4 x Home Runs) / (At Bats). In 1903, Christy Mathewson had 124 at bats, and hit 24 singles, 3 doubles, 0 triples, and 1 home run, for a .274 slugging percentage. Being able to get on base and to hit for power are two of the most important offensive skills in baseball, so the On Base Percentage and Slugging Percentage are often added together. On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a sabermetric baseball statistic. The best hitters in Major League Baseball can achieve an OPS of .900 or higher. In 1903, Christy Mathewson had a .278 On Base Percentage and a .274 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of .552. Runs Created (RC) is a baseball statistic invented by Bill James to estimate the number of runs a hitter contributes to his team. There are a number of formulas used to calculate it. One of the simplest is (On Base Percentage) × (Total Bases). In 1903, Christy Mathewson had a .278 On Base Percentage and 34 Total Bases for 9.46 Runs Created.
What pitcher has more complete games then wins?
Many of the old timers that played in the 1800s and early 1900s had more complete games as wins since it was the way of the game during that time that the starting pitcher would pitch the entire game unless he was shelled unmercifully or got injured. Some of those pitchers were Cy Young (749 complete games and 511 wins), Walter Johnson (531 complete games and 417 wins), Christy Mathewson (434 complete games and 373 wins), Grover Cleveland Alexander (437 complete games and 373 wins), and Ed Plank (410 complete games and 326 wins). For more modern pitchers, Robin Roberts (1948-1966) had 305 complete games and 286 wins, Bob Feller (1936-1941 and 1945-1956) had 279 complete games and 266 wins, Bob Gibson (1959-1975) had 255 complete games and 251 wins, and Juan Marichal (1960-1975) had 244 complete games and 243 wins.
