FenwayNation's Dalton Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) experienced a sharp upswing in July—rising 7.9 points to 99.4. The big jump in the Index was fueled by a 14.1 point rise in confidence with the team's offense. Confidence in relief pitching and defense showed gains as well—6.3 and 6.4 points, respectively. Starting pitching confidence was the only metric to experience a decline—dropping 1.3 points.
The DJIA composite index is made up of confidence readings for four key metrics: starting pitching, relief pitching, overall offense and overall defense from a select panel of 50 FN readers from around the world. You can see the scores for each of the metrics HERE.
