The Atlanta Braves have started their season in full swing. The season is long and there is still a large chunk of the season yet to play.
That being said, it is always fun to look at players’ surface numbers and bounce them off of their XSTATs to see if we should see progression or regression if the player continues to swing the bat in the same manner.
We all know that looking at numbers like expected batting average (xBA) is not an exact science. However, they are a good tool to see if players have been unfortunate or of they have been getting a bit lucky.
