Correlation, Part 6

For a recap on Correlation and the rest of the series, go here.
Part 6 focuses on the correlation of wOBA to Runs. wOBA is weighted On Base Average, and is a linear weights stat on an On Base Percentage scale. Here is the formula, and some info.
The Correlation between Runs and wOBA was .93, so it has strong correlation. The R² is .87. This is by far the strongest correlation I've had in this study, and it is stronger than average, OBP and slugging, but strangely, not OPS.
