It’s an off-day, and I figure a good point to check out spring training numbers and see who has been putting up impressive stat-lines so far. It probably almost doesn’t need to be said, but this is dumb. There are a multitude of reasons why these numbers are meaningless, and tell us virtually nothing. That is not, however, going to stop us. Though I will list some of the most obvious caveats here:
- Tiny sample size. No hitter has even 30 PAs, and no hitter has thrown 8 innings. Anyone can hit anything over 30 PAs.
