With forewords by Wade Boggs and Lance McCullers, Jr, here is a modern
stat book for modern fans. Whether you follow the Yankees, Red Sox,
Dodgers, Giants, or another Major League team, you fill find something
new and fascinating!
As America's pastime since the mid-1800s, baseball offers the sights,
sounds, and even smells that are deeply entrenched in our culture. But
for some, the experience can be less sensory. Some, such as Ryan Spaeder
and Kevin Reavy, live for baseball statistics. Stats give the game
historical context and measurables for past, present, and predictive
analysis.
Incredible Baseball Stats, newly updated, helps tell unique baseball
stories, showcasing extraordinary stats and facts in baseball history,
through the 2018 season.
For example, in 2015, the Nationals' Bryce Harper broke out in a major
way. He batted .330/.460/.649 with 42 home runs en route to his first
MVP Award. It was his fourth MLB season, but he was still younger than
NL Rookie of the Year Kris Bryant. He became the youngest player to lead
the league in both on-base percentage and homers in the same season
since Ty Cobb in 1909.
The authors have scoured the records for untold tales and looked at
familiar ones with new statistical insights, to create Incredible
Baseball Stats, a perfect book for baseball fans from coast to coast.
