As America’s pastime since the mid-1800s, baseball offers the sights, sounds, and even smells that are deeply entrenched in our culture. But for some, the experience can be less sensory. Some, such as Ryan Spaeder and Kevin Reavy, live for baseball statistics. Stats give the game historical context and measurables for past, present, and predictive analysis.

Incredible Baseball Stats, newly updated, helps tell unique baseball stories, showcasing extraordinary stats and facts in baseball history, through the 2018 season.

For example, in 2018, the Los Angeles Angels’ Shohei Ohtani captured the American League Rookie of the Year Award. Ohtani belted 22 home runs at-bat and won four games on the mound, making him just the second player in baseball history with at least 20 home runs and three victories in a season. He is joined only by Babe Ruth, who did so 99 years earlier, in 1919 (29 HRs, 9 Ws).

The authors have scoured the records for untold tales and looked at familiar ones with new statistical insights to create Incredible Baseball Stats, a perfect book for baseball fans from coast to coast.

“In an era where seemingly everything can be looked up in a flash, Incredible Baseball Stats proves otherwise. There is still a world of fascinating stories and trivia if you have the ability to dig deeper and ask more sophisticated questions. An excellent primer on the history of baseball, from Sisler to Altuve, this book shows how statistics are supposed to be used: to tell fascinating stories in their proper historical context. A ton of fun, and a must for the thinking fan.”

—Brian Kenny, studio host, MLB Network; author, Ahead of the Curve

“I wish Ryan and Kevin would have written a book like this back when I was playing. There is stuff in here about my career I didn’t even know! The stats and stories in this book are really eye-opening.”

—Tim “Rock” Raines, National Baseball Hall of Famer

“It seems like someone is always coming up with new ways to quantify value in this great game of ours. This book has a really unique take on the ‘Coors Effect,’ and the ‘Hangover Effect’ might completely change the way you think about baseball at high altitude.”

—Larry Walker, Five-time All-Star; 1997 NL MVP

“Ryan and Kevin have a real passion for baseball, and the numbers within the game. This book looks at the full contribution of the players—not just the mainstream stats. In this book, you will find numbers that you’ve never seen before.”

—Edgar Martinez, 2019 National Baseball Hall of Fame Inductee
