The All Ball Harmony Set
Small, Middle, and Big Ball Harmony
To create this set and system, Harmonic Average was used to create three sets of data in the different styles of baseball for position players.
Small Ball Harmony: The Harmony of BB, 1B and "Sac+SB"
(3*BB*1B*Sac+SB) / [(BB*1B)+(BB*Sac+SB)+(1B*Sac+SB)]
Note: "Sac+SB" is a category label, not an operation.
Middle Ball Harmony: The Harmony of BB, 1B and 2B
(3*BB*1B*2B) / [(BB*1B)+(BB*2B)+(1B*2B)]
Big Ball Harmony: The Harmony of BB, XBH and RBI
(3*BB*XBH*RBI) / [(BB*XBH)+(BB*RBI)+(XBH*RBI)]
All Ball Harmony
