Wild Card Stats That Predict Advancement in Playoffs

Before last season’s Wild-Card Series, I presented some Wild Card records that the Diamondbacks could possibly break (details in this AZ Snake Pit article). My thinking was that win or lose, that would add to my enjoyment.

In 2023, the Diamondbacks won their Wild Card Series without breaking any of the presented records.

I broadened my view to all four Wild Card Series in 2023. Here is what I found:

  • The Rangers had 23 hits in their series, which was a new record for a Wild Card Series.
  • The Rangers and the Diamondbacks each had 3 stolen bases in their series, but fell short of the team record.
