Voros McCracken

Voros McCracken is a baseball researcher known for analyzing how batters perform against different pitchers. He discovered that a batter's success in a given season is heavily influenced by the specific pitchers they face, rather than just their own skill. This insight challenges the traditional view that batting averages reflect a player's true ability, highlighting the importance of the quality of opponents. His work helps teams better understand player performance and luck, emphasizing the context of matchups rather than raw statistics alone.
