stats

Just finished compiling the stats for the Rays games I scored this summer.

Offense: Will led the team in nine offensive categories: RBIs, On Base Percentage, Times Reaching Base, Plate Appearances, Stolen Bases, Walks, Games Played, Triples, and Times Hit By Pitch.

He was one base behind the team leader in my “Total Bases” category, the total bases a player advanced by hit, stolen base, fielder’s choice, etc.

Will was third on the team in: OB+Slugging, Hits, Batting Average, At Bats, Fewest Strikeouts, Sacrifices, and Walks/Strikeout Ratio.

Usually batting 3th, 4th, or 5th, Will ranked a close 4th in Runs Scored as well as Slugging Percentage. He ranked first, second, or third in 17 of the 21 categories I charted.

Jake ranked first in six categories: Average, Hits, At Bats, Total Bases, and Triples & Plate Attempts (both tied with Will).

Bradley ranked first Slugging, Runs, Doubles, Home Runs (tied with Tyler), and Triples (tied with Will & Jake).

Will, Jake, and Bradley took top three in 51 of the top 63 spots...

Bradley: 18 of 21

Will: 17 of 21

Jake: 16 of 21

Will’s Pitching rankings:

First: Strikeouts/Inning and Appearances

Second: ERA and Opposing OBP

Third: Innings Pitched, Opposing Batting Average, Walk/Strikeout Ratio, Batters/Inning, Hits/Inning, and Pitches/Inning.

Dustin led the team in ERA, Walks/Inning, Batters/Inning, Hits/Inning, Percentage of Strikes, Pitches/Inning, Opposing Average, Opposing OBP, and Walks/Strikeout Ratio.

Dustin, Will, and Michael pitched the most innings (30, 21, and 40, respectively).

Here’s how those three ranked in the 14 categories I charted:

Dustin: 1st in 10 categories, 2nd in two.

Will: 1st in 2 categories, 2nd in eight.

Michael: 1st in 2 categories, 2nd in four.

Will played seven positions for the Rays: P, C, 3B, RF, LF, SS, CF. He played P, C, SS, 2B, 3B, & CF for his spring Crown team, so the only position he didn’t play this year was first base.

Teammate Cole played almost as many positions as Will, if not more. In my unstatistical opinion, Cole was the team’s best overall fielder.
