Sports Asked on March 22, 2021
At about 4′6″ into the video linked below, the announcer says "They’re averaging about three runs a game in the first three innings."
The link starts at 4′1″.
Is "number of runs in a game in the first three innings" also a baseball stat? If yes, does the following stats about Rafael Devers include that info?
Sure, it’s a statistic - by definition. But no, it’s not a commonly used statistic, and wouldn’t appear on a BBRef player page. Baseball statistics like that are collected either by the sports department of the TV station, or by ESPN which is an entire sports TV station, or by a variety of other organizations; the Society for American Baseball Research has a list of examples as well as being one of those organizations itself.
In this case you probably could find it with a baseball reference advanced search for team stats - they didn’t mean Devers scores three runs on average in the first three innings (that would be not only a record but probably by a factor of four or five; I doubt anyone averages much more than one run a game) but that the whole team does.
