The signature insight
Marcus Rivera hits .220 — 11th of 11 qualified hitters — but ranks 1st in points per plate appearance. His average is hiding your best №2 hitter.

The problem
Standard stats reward outcomes, not contributions.
Two regulars from the same sample season. One out-hits the other by a hundred points of batting average — and trails him badly in what actually wins games. Coaches know this player intuitively; Who's Gott Game gives them the number.

The point system
A veteran coach's judgment, quantified.
Every game event maps to points under the founder's default rule set, Coach's Standard — versioned and tunable per team, so the values can be argued with, and changed, without a redeploy.
Double
+4Base hit — two bases.
Advanced a runner
+2Credited to the batter for each runner moved up — on any play, including productive outs.
2-strike hit
+2A hit while down to two strikes — battler's credit.
Failed to advance runners
-2Any out that leaves runners in place — per runner stranded where they stood.
8-pitch at-bat
+2Grinding an at-bat to eight or more pitches, whatever the outcome.
3-pitch strikeout
-2Struck out on three pitches.
Leadoff walk bonus
+2Extra credit for a walk leading off an inning — the free baserunner that starts rallies.
Stolen base
+2Credited to the runner.
Missed sign (offense)
-5Missed a bunt, take, steal, or hit-and-run sign.
Advanced on ball in dirt
+2Heads-up read on a ball in the dirt — the literal extra base.
First out of the inning
+5Retiring the leadoff batter — the out that sets up a clean inning.
Leadoff walk
-5Walking the first batter of an inning.
The data reality
Three tiers of data, one honest score.
Roughly a third of the point system — often the highest-signal third — exists in no export anywhere. Who's Gott Game is built around that fact instead of pretending one CSV covers everything.
Tier 1
Automatic from your GameChanger export
Hits by type, walks, strikeouts, stolen bases, runs, errors, sac plays — parsed straight from the CSV you already keep. A credible score from the very first upload.
12 of 34 rules
Tier 2
Play-by-play detail
Two-out modifiers, leadoff walks, 8-pitch at-bats, 2-strike hits, 1-2-3 innings. Extracted wherever the export carries it — and clearly marked when it doesn't.
17 of 34 rules
Tier 3
Coach-observed
Missed signs, dirt-ball reads, not covering home. No stat feed anywhere captures these — this is the digitized version of the veteran coach's notebook, one tap per event.
5 of 34 rules
Every player score carries a completeness indicator showing exactly which tiers fed it — so coaches trust the number.
How it works
