IFOAA (Infield Outs Above Average)

[storrsroars]

New Tom Tango metric using Statcast data. I like it. Big improvement over UZR, IMO. I was always dubious of UZR as it often didn't jibe with the ol' eye test.

This was mentioned yesterday in a "UConn in MLB" post on Nick Ahmed, who ranks 3rd among all IFs based on IFOAA. Felt it deserved its own thread so y'all can argue about your team's IFs.

 

[the Q]

Not surprised at all that Ahmed ranks so high.
