Welcome to OFF THE BAT STATS!
A website about baseball that is designed to enlighten, inform and maybe create a little controversy. As the name implies, we’ll definitely look at stats, both traditional and analytical. We’ll also discuss the game’s history, as well as the human side of the sport that cannot be measured with numbers.
After many months of polishing up the final details of our website, we’re relaunching. The intent going forward is to post new articles at least one to two times per month. Baseball itself provides an endless stream of topics, so that shouldn’t be too difficult. I’m looking forward to your comments and friendly interaction on this site. I want to hear your insights, opinions and yes, even your complaints as we share our passion for the game that I still consider to be our national pastime!
