Before we address hits, let’s list streaks of at least 5 games with the Diamondbacks scoring at least 3 runs in each game. Why streaks are important was explained in this AZ Snake Pit article.
- April 8-14
- April 18-May 4
- May 26-30
- July 18-24
- September 14-20.
During those streaks, Diamondbacks’ hits-per-game were 9.08. Outside of those streaks, Diamondbacks’ hits-per-games were 7.68. If we assume hits-per-game caused the streaks, a seemingly small difference of 1.4 hits-per-game made the difference between a multi-game batting streak and games with batting inconsistency.
