| How To Calculate R.R.A.®
The R.R.A.® relief quotient applies to situations with inherited base runners. To calculate R.R.A.®, only use instances where there is at least one runner on base when that relief pitcher enters the game. To calculate R.R.A.®, take the following steps:
1) Get the variable (O), based upon how many outs there are when the pitcher enters the game:
If there are 0 outs, O = 2
If there is 1 out, O = 3
If there are 2 outs, O = 6
2) Find (R1), (R2) and (R3) and (R) based on which inherited base runner(s) scored:
If an inherited base runner from 1st base scored, R1 = 3. If not R1 = 0.
If an inherited base runner from 2nd base scored, R2 = 2. If not R1 = 0.
If an inherited base runner from 3rd base scored, R3 = 1. If not R1 = 0.
R = R1 + R2 + R3.
3) Multiply (O x R) to calculate the pitcher's R.R.A.® for that game.
4) Repeat steps 1-3 and record the pitcher's R.R.A.® for each game in the set of games (for example a season) that you wish to calculate the pitcher's R.R.A.® for.
5) Take the sum of the pitcher's R.R.A.s® from each game in that season and divide by the total number of games that the pitcher appeared in with inherited runners on base. This number equals that pitcher's R.R.A.® for that season.
For an example refer to the Example section.
