Assigning the Australian Baseball League a rank of 10, we ranked all other leagues from 1-10 in order to measure the strength of performance of each batter. We used the following algorithm for the ranking:
Player ranking points = ((AVG x 9) + (OBP x 10) + (SLG x 8)) x league strength
Other qualifying criteria:
- Must have been a member of Baseball Jobs Overseas who signed overseas using the website as a tool, directly or indirectly resulting in their 2018-19 signing.
- Must have had 60 or more at-bats
- Must be an import player (ie. not a BBJO member who is a homegrown player of the local team)
Congratulations to all of our members for a great season overseas and for doing a great job at growing the game internationally.
