Speed Score

We’ve added Bill James’ Speed Score to the player pages, leaderboards, and team pages.

We’re using the 4 component version, which is an average of Stolen Base Percentage, Frequency of Stolen Base Attempts, Percentage of Triples, and Runs Scored Percentage.

Apologies if you’ve answered this before, but a) are Speed Score’s incorporated into players win values and/or wOBA? and b) how much can adding speed scores to the site alter the valuation of a player, both in extreme cases and on average?
