Tuesday: Team Splits

"Splits", for those who don't know, is the term given to how players perform in different scenarios. For example: lefty/righty, day/night, home/road, etc. Let's take a look at the interesting splits that the Rangers have formed as a team:

Author's note: all statistics are current as of 5/30 (when this post was written)

Home/Road:

The Ranger hitters at RBiA are slamming a .285/.357/.521, but away from home they only manage a meager .249/.294/.447.

The Ranger pitchers at RBiA have allowed a modest .277/.346/.448, and on the road they improved to .259/.332/.413.


April/May:

The Ranger hitters have been extremely consistent throughout both months of the young season so far, hitting .269/.329/.497 in April and .266/.326/.475 in May. However, over the last two weeks, they have only managed a weak .228/.300/.446.

The Ranger pitchers in April were 10-11 with a 5.70 ERA, but in May completely reversed course to 19-8 with a 3.61 line. They went from allowing .287/.365/.479 in April to .253/.318/.393 in May.


Number of Outs:

The Ranger hitters' performance worsens as the inning progresses (I don't know enough about this stat to know if this is normal or not):

0 outs: .288/.342/.555
1 out: .272/.326/.516
2 outs: .241/.313/.377

Strangely, the Ranger pitchers' performance also worsens as the inning progresses (measured by line of opposing hitters):

0 outs: .247/.320/.426
1 out: .294/.341/.415
2 outs: .265/.358/.456
