Okay, so I’ve been digging into this pitcher, Joe Ryan, and I wanted to share my whole process of tracking his game logs. It’s been quite the journey, let me tell you.
First off, I started by just typing in “Joe Ryan game log” into a search engine. I wasn’t sure what I’d find, but I figured that was the best place to start. I got a bunch of results, some for Major League games, others for Minor League. I decided to focus on the Major League stuff because, well, that’s the big leagues, right?
Then I started clicking on the top search results. Each site had a slightly different way of presenting the data. Some were pretty basic, just listing the date, opponent, and basic stats like innings pitched, strikeouts, and ERA. Others were more detailed, with pitch counts, batting averages against, and all sorts of other stuff. I spent a good chunk of time just exploring these different sites, trying to get a feel for what was out there.
After browsing around, I decided to pick one site that I liked the best. It had a clean layout and all the stats I was interested in. I bookmarked it so I could easily come back to it later. Once I had my go-to site, I started going through each game log one by one.
- I noticed some interesting trends. For example, it said that Ryan’s got a pretty high strikeout rate, around 9.2 strikeouts per nine innings. That’s pretty good!
- I also saw that he seemed to perform better at home, with a 3.04 ERA in 15 home starts, compared to a 4.22 ERA on the road.
I started to get really into it. I was making notes, highlighting key games, and even jotting down some questions I had. I noticed that Ryan was supposed to start Game 3 of the AL Wild Card Series against the Blue Jays, if necessary. That got me thinking about how he performs under pressure.
After looking at individual games, I wanted to get a bigger picture view. I found a section on the site that showed his stats for the entire 2022 season. It said he pitched in 27 games, and there was a chart that broke down his performance in each one. I spent a while analyzing that chart, looking for any patterns or insights.
Finally, I decided to check out his stats from the last season. It showed that Santana led the team in home runs with 14, Correa led in RBIs with 47, and Miranda had the highest batting average at .325. On the pitching side, Lpez led in wins with 9 and strikeouts with 135.
What I’ve done
So, yeah, that’s basically how I went about tracking Joe Ryan’s game logs. It was a bit of a rabbit hole, but I learned a lot. It’s cool to see how you can start with a simple search and end up with a pretty good understanding of a player’s performance. It was all pretty interesting, and I might even start doing this for other players. I think you should try it too.
