Here’s a ray of sunshine on a dreary day after the Royals lose their fifth in a row – your Kansas City Royals lead the American League in Don’t Make Outs (DMO)!
What is DMO? It’s a stat I made up that adds base-running skills to OBP, and punishes for GDP. I made it in order to get a clearer picture of a player’s total offensive performance.
The formula is: (H+HBP+BB+SB-CS-GDP-PO)/PA. The stat is expressed as a decimal, and in most cases will be close to OBP. It will drop or rise significantly for players that steal lots of bases or GDP a lot.
Here are the AL totals for 2011 so far (last night’s games not included). I have included OBP as a reference:
Update: Corrected for IBB and added PO
| Player | DMO | OBP |
| Jarrod Dyson* | 0.552 | 0.286 |
| Mitch Maier* | 0.526 | 0.526 |
| Wilson Betemit# | 0.386 | 0.386 |
| Billy Butler | 0.381 | 0.392 |
| Matt Treanor | 0.375 | 0.389 |
| Alex Gordon* | 0.333 | 0.339 |
| Jeff Francoeur | 0.326 | 0.337 |
| Chris Getz* | 0.315 | 0.301 |
| Eric Hosmer* | 0.313 | 0.333 |
| Melky Cabrera# | 0.305 | 0.305 |
| Mike Aviles | 0.290 | 0.269 |
| Kila Ka'aihue* | 0.260 | 0.295 |
| Alcides Escobar | 0.253 | 0.266 |
| Brayan Pena# | 0.250 | 0.279 |
For reference, last year the Royals were middle of the pack, and in 2009 they were next to last in this stat.
