Last week I posted the 2009 Pitching Dominance Factors for the Yankees’ farm system, and yesterday Greg Fertel at Pending Pinstripes took a stab at developing a similar stat for hitters. As you probably expect, Jesus Montero was the most dominant hitter in the system, and not by a small margin either. That’s what happens when you dominate High-A and Double-A at that age. Reegie Corona surprisingly graded out well, coming in a distant second (third, technically).
Like the pitching version, it’s not terribly useful for analysis purposes, instead it’s one of those “fun to look at stats.” As Greg readily admits, the formula isn’t perfect (there definitely needs to be some kind of amplification factor for IsoP, because there’s no way a 17.0 K% should cancel out a .170 IsoP), but it’s a start. If I was smart enough, I’d probably look into it myself.
