Luck. We know it's a fairly large part of baseball. It's also the foundation for the central questions we ask when trying to analyze the game: What was a certain player or team's actual performance? How much control did they have over their production? Can they recreate it next year? We never stop debating these points. We create new statistics to try to answer them a little better than we did last season. And, despite there being certain influences we can't measure when looking at individual and team production, we do have a few tools at our disposal to tell us who might have underperformed, and who might have overperformed.
