What is a good Games as Hitter?
What does good Games as Hitter mean? "Good" baseball stats can be very subjective and mean different things to different people.
I have attempted to quantify good and bad by taking season and career stats for MLB position players (not pitchers) with a minimum number
of plate appearances. In this case 150 for career and 75 for a season. To find good and bad within this cohort of players I calculated the first and third quartiles,
anything between these quartiles I consider average. This makes up the middle 50% of players. In an example
where higher is better for a stat, below the first quartile (bottom 25% of players) would be bad and above the 3rd
quartile (top 25% of players) would be good. For stats where lower is better, flip around good and bad.




Career, Season, and Season Average Games as Hitter Records
For my hot take on Games as Hitter records most of the same rules apply from the first section. To be considered for my
prestigious lists the player must meet a certain threshold of plate appearances. Since this is a Hitting stat to be considered
for the career list the player must have over 150 plate appearances, for a season consideration the player must have
had 75 plate appearances. Additionally, the player's final game must have been after 1899.
