Phillies PROD (Productivity): April

PHILLIES PRODUCTIVITY NUMBERS, APRIL

Travis Rodgers

The productivity number (PROD) is simply a measure of the number of bases a player is able to earn per trip to the plate. It comes apart from SLG in some instances. Consider Wade Boggs (career SLG of .44, career PROD .52) vs. Rickey Henderson (career SLG .42, career PROD .53). Henderson’s ability to create bases on the base path was far superior to Boggs’s, and this typically translates to more runs produced. In fact, Henderson produced 3 more runs per 100 trips to the plate than Boggs did.  A PROD of 0.50 is a good number. Higher is better.
