The Oakland A’s have played 11 games this season, which means they are nearly 7% of the way through the 2017 campaign. We know basically nothing about what will happen this year. But we do have a bunch of stats already, nearly two weeks’ worth, just sitting there laughing at us. Just one or two quick calculations couldn’t hurt, right? Just to tide us over until the sample sizes are bigger?
Besides, this is the perfect moment to take a snapshot in time. You see, three different Oakland A’s lead the league in different stats, and not just weird ones like NRD% or SLARP.
