Applying A Little RE24
Posted by Steve Lombardi on April 23, 2010
RE24, or "Base-Out Runs Added," is the difference in run expectancy between the start of the play and the end of the play. That difference is then credited/debited to the batter and the pitcher.
So, since 2008, which batters in baseball have had the most games with RE24 greater than or equal to 2? Thanks to Baseball-Reference.com's Play Index Batting Game Finder, we have the answer:

How did you get RE24 working the in the play index? It always says query broken when I run it find a certain RE24 or WPA.

I found setting it for whole numbers, instead of numbers with a decimal, works.

But that means it is broken.
