Glossary term...not found? "xW"

07-18-2016, 06:29 AM

I noticed recently that the abbreviation on a pitcher's card "xW" is not found. Is this expected Wins? expected walks? expected Weirdness...? Inquiring minds want to know.

I didn't find it in the glossary or via search. Perhaps it is user error, but thought I would ask and let you know. -- Steve

xW stands for expected wins. Here's an explanation.

I'm overdue for a glossary update. Thanks for the reminder.
