One way of comparing two stat lines is to see what guy would have had to do in order for their lines to be identical. Whoever has the fewer of a given stat, you add PA with that outcome until it matches, and then you do a second round if you need to.
Devers and Mars would have identical lines if Devers had gone 2/4, and Mars had gone 1/2, 3B, 3 BB, SO, SB.
Oh, and in these stat lines, can we put PA first and then AB? I know FanGraphs does it the way you're doing it, but everyone else puts PA first, and that's certainly what makes sense. The first thing you want to know is the amount of PT, and then you want to see what happened.

While I understand the logic there, I think that method relies too heavily on perceptions an even smaller sample stat line than we're already comparing. In this particular case, I'm not even sure which small sample is more difficult, the 2/4 or the 1/2 with 3 BB.

In this particular case, I'm not even sure which small sample is more difficult, the 2/4 or the 1/2 with 3 BB. 1/2, 3 BB, 3B is much tougher / more impressive / better than 2/4. Although OPS can be silly when the number of PA is this small, that's 2.300 versus 1.000. Or, to use the same logic and drill down further, turning Mars into Devers takes: turning a 1B into a 3B turning a 1B into a BB turning an out into a BB and then coming up once more and walking. |

I think it's a given that we're going to have to look at small sample sizes when voting for player of the week
