Library Update: Plate Discipline
The great thing about plate discipline statistics is that they’re relatively easy to understand, but the bad news is that there are so many variations and it can be hard to keep them perfectly straight. Fear not, we’ve expanded out Library entry on plate discipline stats to combat this problem.
The entry includes more specifics about all of the numerators and denominators and provides some more detail about how to interpret the data and the differences between our two sets of plate discipline data.
