This is not the first time someone has worn the date in an MLB game!

Lee May when wearing #14 played on May 14th, 1980 1978, 1977, 1976, and 1975
When wearing #23 played on May 23rd in 1973, 1972 1971 and 1970, and 1969

Double header in 1972!

Dustin May is WEARING TODAY'S DATE on the mound for the @Cardinals! (h/t @DaniWex) @NumbersMLB @MLB

[Sam Shuster-Hyman @SamuelShHy]

Interesting stat. Previous time was Sale and Skubal last year.

Expect this to be more frequent with the new scheduling implemented these last few years

[Sophia Minnaert @SophiaMinnaert]

Brewers are facing Tarik Skubal today in Detroit and Paul Skenes tomorrow at home, just the second time in MLB history that a team has faced reigning Cy Young Award winners in consecutive games.

Ignoring shot requirements, Luke Kennard finished the season in the 50-40-90 club, but is 64 FGs & 62 FTs short of the requirements, despite 74 games played and over 100 3s.

Technically, 5 players joined the 50-40-90 club which now is at 50 players. The most ever outside 2022-23

[Sam Shuster-Hyman @SamuelShHy]

I thought the original stat I was looking up was going to be cool, but not so much but already put in the effort to look it up so enjoy this rendition of Stats that Nobody Asked For lol

[Sam Shuster-Hyman @SamuelShHy]

Jordan Walker joins a list of greats as the 4th St. Louis Cardinal to have multiple 3+ consecutive games with a home run at age 23 or younger:
- Albert Pujols (future HoF)
- Enos Slaughter (HoF)
- Joe Medwick (HoF)

[The WARmonger @TheWARmonger_]

It's early, but Konnor Griffin (+2) already has 164 more career Defensive Runs Saved than Derek Jeter (-162).

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

Through Wednesday's games, 13 of the 15 teams in the National League are .500 or better.

That's the most teams in one league to be .500 or better (min. 10 games played) at the end of any given day in MLB history.

[Sam Shuster-Hyman @SamuelShHy]

@Stathead Of the group with 100+ starts of 0-1 ER, only 24 of them have those accounted for 40% or higher of their total games:

[Sam Shuster-Hyman @SamuelShHy]

There have been 243 pitchers that have made over 100 starts with 0-1 ER.

Of those pitchers, there are only 3 that have more 0-1 ER games than 2+ ER games:
Jacob DeGrom (130 of 250)
Clayton Kershaw (232 of 451)
Blake Snell (116 of 222)

(via @Stathead)

[Mathew Mocha @Mathew_Mocha89]

Jacob deGrom has made 250 career starts.

He's allowed 1 or 0 ER in 130 of those starts.

[Sam Shuster-Hyman @SamuelShHy]

there's no real statistic for "home run robberies" but Jo Adell just had a historic game no doubt about it

[Sam Shuster-Hyman @SamuelShHy]

NO HOME RUNS ON JO ADELL'S WATCH!

3 ROBBERIES TODAY

[Jayson Stark @jaysonst]

This seems impossible but ...

Johan Duran just became the first Phillies reliever ever to save a game at home on Opening Day

Kevin McGonigle is the 25th player in MLB history to get 4+ hits in their MLB debut

He is the first to do so since J.P. Arencibia in 2010

[Sam Shuster-Hyman @SamuelShHy]

Luke Kuechly is the second youngest Hall of Fame inductee of all time, second to Gale Sayers

He joins Gale and Jim Brown as the only inductees 35 or younger

The record for most former All-Stars traded MID-season in NBA history was 2004-05, with 13
(Based on the data in an r/NBA post)

Currently we are at 11 (Garland, Harden, JJJ, Conley, Trae, DLo, Middleton, Davis, Porzingis, Vucevic, CP3 technically)

The deadline is tomorrow 👀

[Joshua @JoshuaHowsam]

This is exactly the kind of thing I'd buy if I were very rich

[Sam Shuster-Hyman @SamuelShHy]

Sam Darnold put up 4.92 fantasy points in the Seahawks 44-22 victory this week

He is only the 12th quarterback since 1960 (first year of fantasy data) to have:

Less than 5 fantasy points
10+ passing attempts
Team wins + scores 44+ points

First time since Kerry Collins in 2008

[Sam Shuster-Hyman @SamuelShHy]

Cade Cunningham's 14 FGM is the lowest total with at least 45 attempted shots since 1948

Got the win though!
