Statistically Speaking, 75% of Stats Are Made Up On The Fly…

But not OBI’s! Ours come from friendly scorekeepers and Excel files that hold a years worth of game data, each…

This blog posting is all about numbers. Those that we started accumulating in Season 1 of 2013 have been compiled into the glorified stat sheet that is attached below.

Following are some of the significant data points that just jumped out upon first glance:
— 10 Players on our current roster have played with OBI since 2013!!!
— Matt has played the most games (286) and as the lead off hitter for a decent amount of that time has the most At Bats (922) and yes, even Hits (507).
— One full season of play over the 3+ years qualifies a player for the Batting Avg., On Base Pct and OPS categories. DC (David Craycraft) has played 90 games and leads all 3 categories,,, easily.
— Michael is very picky… With 78 Base on Balls has 25% of OBI’s Walks during this time period.
— Spillane and Michael dominate Top 3 appearances in the 15 Offensive Categories. Here are the top category mongers:

• Spillane appears in 10 and leads 2 (RBIs and Triples)
• Michael appears in 8 and leads 5 (Runs, Doubles, Walks, Sac Flies, and Times on Base)
• Matt appears in 6 and leads 4 (Games, At Bats, Hits, and Plate Appearances)
• Clint also appears in 6…
• Juan appears in 5 and will soon lead in a few…

— Juan has 45 HRs and is one short of DC’s 46… He will also take the Batting Avg. lead once the Games Played goes above 90 for the mid-year report in 2016.
— 155-146-5 Record in 301 games would not have been achieved, except for the stats missing from this sheet.

• These stats are all about Defense and especially pitching. Larry has played 274 games and pitched 250+ I am positive. 
• Our statistics are not misleading, just fall short of the efforts made on the other side of the ball.
  

Thanks, Larry and each of you for committing to your solid play on both sides of the ball.

And I cannot end this without specifying to you how amazed I am to see that we have 10 of 14 players on our current roster that have been playing with us since 2013… Incredible!
