This dashboard presents an analysis of player value for the 2024 St. Louis Cardinals by charting each player’s On-Base Percentage (OBP) along the x-axis and their total Runs Batted In (RBI) along the y-axis. These two statistics serve as key indicators of offensive contribution, capturing both a player’s ability to reach base and their impact on scoring. The chart is divided into four quadrants to help interpret player performance. Players in the top right quadrant combine high OBP with high RBI totals, indicating they are the most valuable contributors on offense. Those in the top left quadrant produce runs but do not get on base frequently. Players in the bottom right quadrant have strong OBP but low RBI totals, suggesting they reach base often but may not be positioned to drive in runs. Finally, players in the bottom left quadrant are underperforming in both core areas.
Bubble size represents the number of plate appearances (PA), so users can easily identify which players have had the most opportunities. The color of each bubble reflects strikeout rate (K%), with lighter shades indicating better discipline and fewer strikeouts. Additionally, the PA slider on the right-hand side allows users to filter the dataset by setting a minimum number of appearances. This helps focus the analysis on regular starters or narrow in on consistent contributors. Overall, this dashboard provides a multi-dimensional view of offensive value by blending opportunity, efficiency, and production.
