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 β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” rewarding complete hitters who get on base, drive the ball, and create pressure on the bases.

Team ERA of 4.08 is needs work (College benchmark: 2.80). WHIP 1.78 is elevated (benchmark: 1.20). Team K/BB of 0.95 is below the 3.5 standard. Top pitcher handles 35% of inningsβ€”manageable but monitor as season progresses. Limited depth with 1 pitcher(s) ready for game actionβ€”prioritize developing additional arms. 4 pitcher(s) still working on fundamentalsβ€”give them low-pressure innings to build confidence.
