Some Early Season MLB Stat Trends
Share this story
I wanted to take a look at how early season stats in 2021 compare to the recent decade. The first thing I decided was I wanted primary focus on March/April numbers vs. March/April . So all comparisons are for the first month of the season. Don’t let the preponderance of charts scare you. There are no difficult or esoteric concepts here.
A few caveats to note
Sometimes the season starts in March, and therefore there will be more games played by the end of April.
Some years the April weather is a lot worse, with more cancellations (2012 & 2015 for example).
