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.

"America is an effort. We are a nation born of risk and adversity--of fearful seas to cross just to get here in the first place, of land to clear, floods, epidemic disease, of slave chains and city slums and terrible winters on the high plains." -- David McCullough

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