Let’s get this out of the way: I am not a statistician.
That much should have been made clear by what I write at this point. I know the analytical terms, what they mean, roughly how they are gotten (?) and how to use them when looking at players in today’s modern age.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun with some of the numbers that are happening right now, right?!?!?!
One of the joys of early season baseball is to talk about a guy who is “on pace for” some kind of crazy stat.
