More about Baseball

Baseball (primarily Major League Baseball) is a bat-and-ball sport played over a long regular season where teams compete by scoring runs across nine-inning games. Success is shaped by a mix of skills including pitching, hitting, baserunning, and defense, along with strategic decisions such as bullpen usage, lineup construction, and matchups. Modern MLB analysis blends traditional stats with advanced metrics like on-base percentage, slugging, wOBA, FIP, and Statcast tracking data to evaluate player performance and team efficiency. This category focuses on the MLB season, players, teams, and the numbers and stories that make the sport endlessly explorable.
