It's been a while, but Mark and Andy are back to where it all started--breaking down advanced baseball statistics in an effort to understand them better. This episode, it is wRC+, a hitting statistic that has become more and more commonly used. Your hosts break down how it is calculated, who has the greatest career and single-season marks, and who have been the worst hitters according to the metric. If you can make it through their tangents about The Natural, Ken Phelps, and Morrissey, you'll make it to Roll The Stat, the baseball stat-guessing game that 9 out of 10 pediatricians recommend. You'll come out a better person on the other side.
