About these team pages
Each page is a record of how one club actually set its lineups and used its pitchers in the 2023–2025 regular seasons. It is not a forecast: rosters change over the winter, and projected lineups, start probabilities and a projected rotation for 2027 will be added once rosters take shape.
- Regular-season games only. Every figure is our own calculation from Retrosheet game logs; nothing is copied from team or league sources.
- Batting and throwing hands come from the most recent Retrosheet roster file for each player.
- "Day game after a night game" means a day game on the calendar day after the team's previous game, which was played at night.
- League averages are the average of the 30 clubs' own values. Ranks run from 1 (highest value) to 30; tied clubs share a rank.
- Percentages are calculated from the underlying counts and rounded once, half up.
- A player whose start rate differs a lot between right- and left-handed opposing starters may be in a platoon, but the gap can also come from timing: a player who joined, left or missed part of the season during a stretch with more left- or right-handed starters. Game logs alone cannot tell these apart, and we do not state reasons such as injuries or trades that the data cannot show.
- Ties in "most starts" are broken arbitrarily.
See our methodology for how these patterns feed into projections.
Table notes
- Rest: full days between two starts by the same pitcher in the same season; only starts that followed an earlier start that season are counted. Median rest counts only gaps of 10 days or fewer.
- Start rate vs RHP/LHP: a player's starts against right- or left-handed opposing starters as a share of the team's games against that hand. Players with at least 40 starts and a gap of 25 points or more are listed.
- Primary catcher: the player with the most starts at catcher for the team that season.
- Month by month: March games are counted with April. "First start of the season" lists players (alphabetically) who started a game for the team for the first time that season in that month.
- Most common lineups: exact batting orders; positions as listed in the most recent game with that order.
