Evaluating the Milwaukee Brewers or any player after 18 baseball games isn’t really the best idea. The small-sample numbers could mean something or everything or nothing at all. Regardless, it’s fun to check out early-season statistics and figure out what is real and what is spectacular.
For example, if you’re reading this, you know that Corbin Burnes is the first pitcher in MLB history to have a four-game span with 40 strikeouts and zero walks (is that technically a strikeout-to-walk ratio of infinity?). But there are other players and parts of the club that are off to impressive starts; of course, you’ll find some ugly numbers, too.
