PWI's Chase vs Defend by Season

Identity Over Time

Three Seasons — Too Few to Call a Pattern

Three seasons is a small sample: PWI won 6 of 25 chasing and 6 of 20 batting first. 2011 showed the widest split of all — 57.1% (4 of 7) chasing against 0.0% (0 of 6) batting first, 57.1 percentage points apart. Their closing seasons leaned one way: defending had the better rate in each of the last two.
