About this puzzle

Playing Stat Line in the MLB

Baseball box scores are built from a 162-game season, which means career averages here are usually drawn from an enormous sample -- thousands of plate appearances or innings pitched -- so the β–²/β–Ό feedback tends to be a genuinely stable signal once you've made a couple of guesses. A standout single game (a multi-hit night, a shutout inning) is easy to overweight, but remember the comparison is against a full career built from hundreds of games just like it, not this one.
