Alright, so I wanted to dig into the stats from the Texas Rangers versus Seattle Mariners game. Here’s how I went about it.
First, I needed a place to get the data. There are a few, but I chose a good one, which have lots of game information. So I started looking for that specific game’s box score.
Once I found the game, I started to organize the information. Usually, it is by batters and pitchers.
Batter Up!
For the hitters, I was mainly interested in:
- AB: At-Bats
- H: Hits
- R: Runs scored
- RBI: Runs batted in
- BB: Walks(Base on Balls)
- SO: Strikeouts
I put all of this stuff into a simple table. Easy to read and see who had a good or bad night.
Taking the Mound
For the pitchers, things are slightly different. I focused on these:
- IP: Innings Pitched
- H: Hits allowed
- R: Runs allowed
- ER: Earned Runs allowed
- BB: Walks allowed
- SO: Strikeouts
- ERA:Earned Run Average
I recorded these to my table, to see who pitched well and who struggled.
After inputting all these, I could easily compare players. For example, I saw who had the most hits for the Rangers, or which Mariners pitcher had the most strikeouts. I made it a breeze to get a quick overview of individual performances.
That’s pretty much it! It’s a simple way to track the key stats and get a feel for how each player did in the game. This recording help me a lot!
