LSG's Chase vs Defend by Season
No Settled Split — Defending Better in 2 of 4 Seasons
3+ matches per role per season
LSG's split has moved year to year — defending has come out ahead in two of four seasons, chasing in one, with one season split even. The gap was widest in 2022 — 87.5% (7 of 8) defending against 28.6% (2 of 7) chasing, 58.9 percentage points between them. Early on the better record sat with defending; more recently it has sat with chasing — a change in the balance that never took hold as an identity. In 2025 the split went the other way: 50.0% (2 of 4) chasing against 40.0% (4 of 10) batting first.
