The
newest book in the Stat Geek Baseball universe. Fields of Gold, Baseball's Best
Glove Work.
Review
- This
is a book that chronicles some of the most important fielders in
baseball history, and the level of statistics detail is amazing. Really
glad I could find this, it is a really great addition for every
baseball fan. I loved the different rankings of players and there is
quite a lot of different metrics and graphs that are really interesting
to study and think about. Highly recommended.

What is PEVA?
PEVA is the acronym for Stat Geek Baseball's New Player Rating value.
This grade is given to each player and pitcher each season,
rating
their performance on a peer to peer review. Six components
for
pitchers and batters are melded together into the PEVA Rating, which
ranges each year from 0.200 to 64.000. For more information on PEVA and
the other new baseballevaluation.com Stats, see our Definitions
page. PEVA ratings are available for every pitcher and hitter
in baseball history.
