This morning, as I was doing my daily deep dive into the Colorado Rockies‘ stats (it wakes me up better than a hot cup of coffee), I discovered another one of those rare anomalies that show up from time to time because baseball is a game full of numbers. Much like the Charlie Blackmon stat that I stumbled upon earlier this month, this stat has no explanation for why it exists. This time, it involves Raimel Tapia and his hitting streak.
Wednesday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Tapia extended his career high hitting streak to a modest eight games.
