Interesting, thanks for sharing PA. Looks like Oglive's superpower is avoiding bad passes. Fewer than 1 in every of her 50 passes can be characterized as "bad". And when you have a good to great setter, avoiding bad passes, rather than delivering great ones, is the key. The same poster had a very nice analysis showing that if you can muster at least a decent pass, the team's expected side out percentage will be quite high.

The difference in expected side out percentage between a 2 and a 3 is pretty low, but the difference between a 0 and a 1 is brobdingnagian, so although Oglive's passing rating is merely good, by having the lowest error rate in the country (at least of the passers shown, and I suspect no one whose not on that top-25 would be any lower), she adds more expected points with every pass than anyone else (although the top 3 all add 0.07 points per pass, that's only with rounding; Oglive is at exactly .07, Bilnovic is at .069, and Mauch is .068).
