What are StatLine IQ Scores?
StatLine IQ is a proprietary composite rating modeled on the intelligence IQ scale. Rather than relying on a single stat like ERA or batting average, each score synthesizes multiple performance dimensions into one number — making it easy to compare players across different strengths. A score of 100 represents the league average; every 15 points is one standard deviation above or below.
StatLine Pitching-IQ weighs ERA, WHIP, strikeout rate, command (K:BB),
and innings durability — a dominant ace with elite control scores far higher than ERA alone would suggest.
StatLine Hitting-IQ combines OPS, contact quality, plate discipline,
and speed — rewarding complete hitters who get on base, drive the ball, and create pressure on the bases.
StatLine Pitching-IQ
Powered by StatLine AnalyticsTeam ERA of 5.40 is needs work (College benchmark: 2.80). WHIP 1.70 is elevated (benchmark: 1.20). Team K/BB of 1.35 is below the 3.5 standard. Healthy workload distribution across 6 arms—good rotation management. Limited depth with 1 pitcher(s) ready for game action—prioritize developing additional arms. 3 pitcher(s) still working on fundamentals—give them low-pressure innings to build confidence.
