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 D1 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.

Team ERA of 0.32 is historically dominant (College benchmark: 2.80). WHIP 0.68 is excellent (benchmark: 1.20). Team K/BB of 4.30 meets the 3.5 standard. Low free-pass rate of 0.31/IP—staff attacks the zone effectively. Top pitcher handles 36% of innings—manageable but monitor as season progresses. Strong pitching depth with a clear top pitcher and 5 reliable arms.
