While spring training stats are mostly unrevealing, some of them provide hints as to what to expect in the upcoming season.
Spring training statistics don’t tell the whole truth about a player, but that doesn’t mean they’re lies. Things like batting average and home runs during spring training aren’t any more revealing than a given player’s four-week run during the regular season. In that respect, Nolan Arenado’s spring batting average should be looked at the same way as Charlie Blackmon’s from April 2014. It’s nice, but everyone knows it’s a product of small sample size variance.
