The ratings spreadsheets that you can buy don't have HBP or ballpark singles either. It's a major flaw as far as I'm concerned.

Also, the percentages for pitchers on the new graphs don't account for the X-Chart chances, even though they are the same for all pitchers. What they show for OUT number are simply wrong. They need to all be reduced by 30 (27.8%). Either that or you assume perfect defense, which is impossible to get. Only OF, C and P have that chance, and the best possible defense at the other infield positions can still allow base runners. To mean anything they'd have to come up with a means to assume "average" defense, whatever that is. Or else do what I do which is to remove the X-Chart rolls from the equation altogether and express all of the numbers relative to the chances that the pitchers' cards actually control.


I only use these kinds of numbers to compare one pitcher to another (or groups of pitchers, whatever), and so assume that X-chart chances are equivalent for all members of the comparison group. I guess in practice it works out the same as your second choice.
