OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - An example of why I don't think DIPS will reflect pre-1960 pitchers accurately

Tippet did not consider park/defense profile vs. pitcher profile. Sharing the same defense/park does not prove anything, since different pitching profile would benefit from the same defense/park in different ways.

Without that part figured out, adding a BABIP rating would only reduce the significance of parks and defense.

The ideal system would be much closer to the work MGL did than what Tippet did.
