[00:00:00]Kyle Shber might be the biggest saber metric paradox in baseball history. On the surface, he looks like a bad hitter.

[00:00:06]231 career batting average, high strikeout rate. The crazy part, he's more valuable than batters carrying a 280 average. And it gets even more unbelievable. He bats at the top of the lineup, a spot reserved for speed, contact, and stolen bases. Shorb is good at none of those things. Traditional stats say he's trash. Advanced analytics say he's great. Very confusing. In baseball, hitters don't want to make outs. obviously and Schwarber manages that in the most extreme way possible.

[00:00:33]Walks, strikeouts, and home runs. Nearly half of his played appearances end without the defense even touching the ball, and that matters because a strikeout is better than a weak ground ball turned into a double play or worse.

[00:00:45]As the three true outcomes king, he removes the defense from the equation.

[00:00:49]It also helps that over 30% of his career hits are home runs. Barry Bonds was at 26%.
