Using Ratios
A ratio is one stat abbreviation divided
by another. You can type a ratio rather
than a single stat abbreviation after
MAX or MIN in your requests.
However,
• you can’t divide a batting stat abbre-
viation by a pitching stat abbreviation
or vice versa (e.g. AB/IP),

ERA, SLG).

About Infinite Ratios
The value of a ratio is infinite when
its denominator is zero. For ex-
ample, if you enter MAX W/L, then
press to view the statistics, you’ll

INF (infinite) means that Ben Shields
and others never lost a game.

Using Ratios Realistically
When you type requests with ratios,
you’ll often want to limit the denomi-
nator to view players with significant
at-bats, innings pitched, and so on.
Read “Adding a Limiter” to learn how.
