12. Numeracy

-



Numeracy is the ability to understand and work with numbers. To put numeracy into perspective, we can look at how the MLB look at player's statistics to decide who to give awards to at the end of the season. 

At the end of all MLB seasons awards are given out to the best players for each category. These sats include batting averages, homeruns, runs batted in, hits, and stolen bases. 


For example, Corbin Caroll won the National League Rookie of the Year Award. His statistics were 25 homeruns, 161 hits, 76 rbi, and 57 walks. These stats were good enough to beat out all the other rookies for the award. 



It is very important to keep track of the numbers and statistics in the MLB. This is just one way to show you how important numeracy is when it comes to keeping track of the statistics of each player.

  I am critiquing Jamar's blog because of how well all his work is done and how organized his work is. I actually have taken some motivation from his work to make mine better. One thing that impresses me most about his blog is his organization and how he shows a picture of each story he posts. I think his selection for his cover photos are done perfectly and makes the reader want to click and read the story.  I also would like to appreciate the grammar he uses during his blog posts. Jamar's ability to have a good vocabulary and good grammar makes his posts seem more professional.  I would also say that it impressed me how he was able to finish all 20 stories in such a short time. None of the stories look like they are rushed to be finished. Something I would change to his website is maybe switching up the style or the font of a couple of the stories just so it doesn't look repetitive and has a flare to it....

  Shohei Ohtani just signed the biggest sport's contract of all time. Ohtani just signed a 10-year contract worth a whopping $700 million dollars. Ohtani is only player who is a two-way player in the MLB. He is able to pitch and hit in the MLB, which is unheard of today. He is also an MVP and majority of MLB fans believe he is the best player in the entire league.  Ohtani also shocked the world again when it was said he will defer $680 million dollars from the $700 million he is supposed to get paid.  The Dodgers would have been paying Ohtani more annually then 6 other MLB teams were going to pay their whole roster.  Shohei's new teammate Mookie Betts also has a very large contract with the Dodgers. Together the Dodgers will pay both of these players over 1 billion dollars. Shohei Ohtani joining Dodgers on 10-year, $700M contract - ESPN
