Hello friends.
With May halfway behind us and over a quarter of the games in the books, we finally have a decent enough chunk of data to start shaking out some of the wheat from the chaff, with sample sizes officially getting large enough that we can start drawing some conclusions about performance without having some "well-actually guy" on Twitter immediately start haranguing us about "too much noise, not enough signal, don't pay attention to anything...bah-hhhhhhh." We'll start our 2024 Statsapalooza on plate discipline, as many of the related numbers are ones that begin to stabilize quickly. But first, a quick word on that dirty word, stabilize.
