Before the advent of sabermetric categories, fantasy baseball began by focusing on easy counting stats in games like Home Run Derby.

Most importantly, they made it easy to feel success with each homer or pitcher’s win scoring a specific number of points without much statistical analyses. Points leagues remain popular due to this ease of calculating success.
