Mariners consultant Tom Tango:
Finally, the leaders in the ratio between Batting Assists to Batting Blocks is: Joe Mauer. The league average ratio is 1 assist per 5 blocks. Mauer had 69 assists and 170 blocks. In “Linear Weights speak”, he was +29, followed by Ichiro and Carlos Guillen at +22. On the bottom side, we have Francoeur and Corey Hart at -21.
Score a few more awesome points for Ichiro. For full explanation check out The Book Blog.
