I’m excited to announce that I’ll be joining the Cubs’ baseball analytics/R&D team full-time in early 2023!

Ben Rice’s five games played are the fewest by any player to lead the postseason outright in home runs since the playoffs expanded in 1969.

[Jeremy Frank @MLBRandomStats]

@tangotiger @EvanMiya Median 3P% that the player finishes the season at? Isn’t that what you suggest for Soto OBP? Could also take a mean of season lined, weighted mean by PA, or just use the player’s “true talent”. All of which can result in different numbers from the same projection system

[Jeremy Frank @MLBRandomStats]

@tangotiger @EvanMiya For this convo I’m more interested in the interpretation of rate stats than counting stats. Median vs mean of counting stats is a less interesting discussion

[Jeremy Frank @MLBRandomStats]

@tangotiger @EvanMiya Suppose a player has a true talent 1/3 (33.3%) chance of making a 3. Their coach lets them shoot until their 3P% is below 40% (min. 10 attempts). Their median 3P% is 30% and not 33.3%. Which would you display as their 3P% projection?

[Jeremy Frank @MLBRandomStats]

@tangotiger @EvanMiya I actually think there are some interesting details in what .398 means… is it weighted by PA or no? Evan’s 3p% is a true talent projection but it’s possible Soto’s is a season line estimate, which can vary if opportunities are related to the player’s production

The average Brewers starter today is ~6.4 years younger than the average Dodgers starter.

It’s the fourth largest age-gap between starting lineups in Postseason history.

Most recent bigger age gap was Game 1 of the 2012 ALCS

[Jon Morosi @jonmorosi]

The NLCS Game 1 starting lineups combine for 10 players who are 28 and younger.

Nine of the 10 are on the Milwaukee side.

Andy Pages, 25, is the only Dodgers starter younger than 29.

Lot of people have mentioned that Cleveland broke the *playoff* record for strikeouts in a nine inning game without realizing that no one else has done that in the regular season either!

[Sarah Langs @SlangsOnSports]

Cleveland pitchers struck out 21 batters tonight

That’s the most in a 9-inning postseason or regular season game in MLB history
