Thread: I compiled all D1 team stats listed on the NCAA site from the last full NCAA softball regular season and here’s what I found from 297 teams.
⬇️

1/

Let’s start with the most important stat of all: Winning.

The two stats correlated most to Winning% are Runs Scored & ERA.

I think most of us could have guessed that scoring more runs than you’re allowing is a good recipe for success.

2/
What is the best way to score runs? A high OPS.

I also added the correlation between Stolen Bases per Game & Runs per Game. I was surprised by this, are you?

3/
Winning in the regular season helps set up a chance for the postseason. The NCAA loves their RPI metric for determining their postseason qualifiers and here’s how Wins, Losses, & SOS correlate to RPI.

4/
Here’s how the postseason looked based on RPI & SOS. I’m not going to elaborate on this. We’ll continue with something more fun.

5/
Based on regular season offensive statistics do we have a good idea of who will achieve Postseason Success?

The elite teams appear to separate themselves a little bit.

6/
You saw the defensive stats, let’s now look at the defensive side. The NCAA site doesn’t have a lot of stats on defense but here are 3 they did have.

They do say, “Defense wins Championships”

7/
As many of you have seen probably more than once now, here is my own defensive data I collected from the last full softball season.

With the 2021 season upon us, will we see some of the same statistical occurrences or did the last full D1 softball season have anomalies?

1. The death of Silicon Valley, a thread

How did Silicon Valley die? It was killed by the internet. I will explain.

Yesterday, my friend IRL asked me "Where are good old days when techies were


2. In the "good old days" Silicon Valley was about understanding technology. Silicon, to be precise. These were people who had to understand quantum mechanics, who had to build the near-miraculous devices that we now take for granted, and they had to work

3. Now, I love libertarians, and I share much of their political philosophy. But you have to be socially naive to believe that it has a chance in a real society. In those days, Silicon Valley was not a real society. It was populated by people who understood quantum mechanics

4. Then came the microcomputer revolution. It was created by people who understood how to build computers. One borderline case was Steve Jobs. People claimed that Jobs was surrounded by a "reality distortion field" - that's how good he was at understanding people, not things

5. Still, the heroes of Silicon Valley were the engineers. The people who knew how to build things. Steve Jobs, for all his understanding of people, also had quite a good understanding of technology. He had a libertarian vibe, and so did Silicon Valley

I have documented this in many threads which I will post here just to annoy everyone.
