Overview

This skill builds persuasive, data-driven MVP and awards cases by combining narrative framing, statistical evidence, and historical comparison. It produces ready-to-use writeups, templates, and counter-arguments designed to influence voters and stakeholders. The output emphasizes clarity, advanced metrics, and practical recommendations for presentation and distribution.

How this skill works

You provide player/context and season-level data or request synthesized estimates; the skill inspects box-score totals, rate metrics, advanced stats (WAR, VORP, BPM, WAA, etc.), and historical winner baselines. It constructs a narrative arc, compares the candidate to past winners and contemporaries, explains metric relevance, and anticipates common objections with rebuttals. Final deliverables include formatted cases, copy-paste templates for social or media, and action steps to amplify the message.

When to use it

  • Preparing a media packet or op-ed advocating for an MVP candidate
  • Arming a team PR or fan campaign with data-backed talking points
  • Evaluating a player’s award odds mid-season or at season end
  • Comparing candidates for debate, broadcast segments, or social content
  • Making front-office or internal award recommendations using objective analysis

Best practices

  • Start with a clear thesis sentence summarizing the claim and key metric
  • Include both counting stats and rate/impact metrics to cover volume and efficiency
  • Contextualize numbers with team role, schedule, and lineup protections
  • Use historical winner thresholds as benchmarks, not strict rules
  • Provide concise rebuttals for the three most likely counter-arguments
  • Deliver copy-ready headlines and social snippets for quick distribution

Example use cases

  • Create an MVP case for a position player using WAR, wRC+, and defensive runs saved plus narrative framing
  • Generate a mid-season update comparing two frontrunners with projection-based remaining-season impact
  • Produce a press release and Twitter thread that summarize the argument and cite key metrics
  • Draft a rebuttal memo countering common narratives (e.g., team record, cluster luck)

FAQ

Can this handle different sports or award types?

Yes. Provide the sport and relevant advanced metrics; the approach adapts to sport-specific stats and award criteria.

What if I don’t have full advanced stat data?

The skill can work from box scores and rate stats, estimate advanced metrics using accessible conversions, and flag uncertainty for transparency.
