I have been doing a lot of thinking and analysis and while I am a believer in analytics, I do not think that stats are the end all, be all. Humans play the game of baseball and no human can be fully captured with a single stat. However, there are a few statistics that just totally jump out at me. For example, when a batter has two strikes on them, they have very little chance of getting a hit. It’s way under .200.
On the average, when a MLB hitter has a 2 strike count on him, he has less than a 1 on 5 chance of getting on base.
