The idea that I [should] trust my eyes more than the stats, I don't buy that because I've seen magicians pull rabbits out of hats and I know that the rabbit's not in there. --- Billy Beane On average, everyone has hard luck outs that would otherwise contribute to better statistics... and a few "ground balls with eyes" that do the opposite. Given a significantly large sample size, LUCK tends not to skew statistics very much. Do I think that there are other stats (that aren't readily available in college softball) that would be better measuring sticks (like HHB%) than the old-fashioned traditional stats that we keep... absolutely. People tend to unnecessarily justify the stats they care about, dismiss the ones they don't, or adjust based on "exceptions" - as if those only occurred for the player that they're making an argument for/against. In general, stats only lie when people are trying to lie (not an accusation in this case, just a quote of my own that I live by). BTW... pretty sure Mazz hit a couple of HRs in the fall. Definitely just 1 in the spring season. Her AB/HR ranking was 12th of our 19 this spring, so helps to make an argument that she might have been somewhere in our top 15 hitters.
