The HUBER NUMBER explained
During the season after every game you will see a posting of "Huber numbers" for our players.
Richard Huber, founder of the DC Cardinals Baseball Club, invented the "Huber Number". It is a single number that he believes most accurately assesses offensive production. Here is how it is determined:
If a batter reaches base by any way EXCEPT via a fielder's choice, that batter gets a point (or Huber number) for every base attained, plus additional point(s) for every RBI. The number cumulates during the season. It is that simple.
The theory behind it is this:
1. It encourages patience at the plate. Under this system a walk is truly as good as a hit.
2. It encourages aggressive base running. Since your number continues to accumulate while you are on base, by stealing a base or taking an extra base you add to your total.
3. It encourages smart base running. If you run yourself into an out you end your chance of adding to your number for that at bat.
4. It encourages putting the ball in play. Since you get a point by getting on by an error just the same as with a hit, you want to put the ball into play. Striking out insures 0 points for that at bat.
5. It encourages hustle. Since you get points no matter how you get on (except for a fielder's choice), you tend to run out anything you put into play.
6. It encourages clutch hitting. Each RBI adds a point, but hitting into a fielder's choice (like striking out) gets you 0 points for that at bat. You do not help the offense by knocking a runner off the bases.
7. It encourages being there - staying healthy, avoiding injury, showing up on time and ready to play. The number is a cumulative number, not an average. Since the only way you can add to your total is to be in the line-up, not being there wastes an opportunity to add to your number.
