What is FIP?

by BWoodrum on Jan 10, 2011 12:00 PM EST

As part of the budding Sabermetrics Primer month, I've begun a video series aimed at explaining a variety sabermetric principles and statistics. The first is FIP: A New ERA, feature below. Watch it and let me know what you think! Also, tell me what other videos you would like to see.

Enjoy!

Awesome stuff.

Short and concise, yet it touches upon all the important points. I love visuals, and this takes it to a whole different level. Can’t wait to see more!

I love Casey Fossum. Now try and take me seriously.

J.P.

Hell yeah it is.
Any amount of points can be scored week to week. well, besides 1 point. Any number is as likely to be reached as another, since there’s only one of each number, each has the same chance to be hit. IT’s how the syetemof averages works.

This comment needs crosshairs shopped on the foreheads of the local fishwrap writers and subtle allusions to weapons use to get your point across.
