I wonder what the odds are. Idk how to find the stats but lefties are more rare, for pitchers it’s 28 percent of pitchers and I could not find a good stat for percentage of lefty hitters but out of the top 50 leaders in career at bats 15 were lefties so that is 30 percent. The count is also 3-1 and the average pitcher throws a strike around 50 percent of the time. So a 1-1 count happens in 50% of at bats, 2-1 in 25%, and 3-1 in 12.5%. 4860 games are played per year. Median at bats per game is 33.5 so double that for 2 teams and it is 67. Now multiply that by 4860 t get 325,620. Now let’s just say for simplicity every game goes 9 innings. One out of every nine innings in the mlb are the 8th. Divide 325,620 by 9 to get 36,180. That is the amount of at bats in the 8th inning in 2022. Now, get 28 percent of that number as that will be the amount of at bats with a lefty pitcher on the mound. That number is 10130. Now get 30 percent of that as that is the amount of lefty hitters and that is 3039. Now get 12.5% of that because that is the amount of at bats to get to 3-1 counts. That number is roughly 380. This should have happened 380 times this year. I think I must have done something wrong because there’s absolutely no way that this only happened once this season. This is incredible and the greatest video ever uploaded to RUclips.
a little hard to believe there was only one
how can you not be romantic about baseball?
Thank you for documenting this
Shouldn't this be an Andrew Vargha video?

i can’t tell if this comment is supposed to be a joke or not
This stat is a cherry pick and you're bias
*biased and also how is this showing bias it’s not stating any player is good or bad
Seems like you’re pretty BIASED against me right now
