Alright, so the other day I was watching a baseball game with my buddy, and he kept going on about “MVR this” and “MVR that.” I’m like, “Dude, what are you even talking about?” I mean, I watch baseball, but I’m not exactly a stats geek.
So, after the game, I decided I needed to figure this MVR thing out. First, I grabbed my phone and did a quick search. Turns out, there are many different definitions. I found some, but my friend told me that the definition on baseball is: MVR stands for “Market Value Ranking”. Sounded a little complex at that time. I opened some pages, skimmed a few articles, and honestly, my eyes started to glaze over. It was all numbers and formulas. It wasn’t my way to learn.
My Little Experiment
I am not the guy that easy to give up. So I did my research step by step.
- First, I collected the data online, which costs me some time.
- Second, I tried to read some professional articles, but it was really hard to understand.
- Last, I asked my friend again, and he explained it in simple words to me.
Finally, my friend helped me out, big time. It means that the MVR system can help people to evaluate player’s performace by using data.
So, there you have it. That’s how I, a regular dude, finally figured out the way to understand what MVR is in baseball. Now, back to watching the games… and maybe impressing my buddy with my newfound knowledge.
