Movie Analysis: The Money Ball
“The Money Ball”
“The Money ball” follows the real baseball formula but not from the sporting point of view itself, but the administration. That is, what matters is not the action in the courts, but all that happens behind them that makes the games are as they are. This movie has the power to completely change the way we see a simple baseball game. In a few words, the whole move is about fielding a successful team on a limited budget.
Baseball's "Moneyball" theory states that the baseball market undervalues some attributes (and players with these attributes) that are key contributors to wins while overvaluing other attributes.

For this statistic, the formula used is AVG = H | AB, where H=hits and AB=at-bats.
How do we get this? Lets suppose a player at his first game might have three chances at bat, and one hit as a result. The result would be 1:3, would represent, .330. Such an average is actually quite high.
Its important to take into account that since probability is something that occurs in a little time and statistics takes over a long period of time; only one game would not provide a successful evaluation of a player’s abilities.
Another statistic operation In baseball statistics, is “on-base percentage” (OBP) (sometimes referred to as on-base average/OBA, as the statistic is rarely presented as a true percentage) is a measure of how often a batter reaches base for any reason other than a fielding error, fielder's choice, dropped/uncaught third strike, fielder's obstruction, or catcher's interference (the latter two are ignored as either times-on-base (TOB) or plate appearances in calculating OBP).
On-base percentage is calculated using this
