Calling All-Region

Of the things I do at this site, voting on D3baseball.com's preseason and postseason awards is among my favorites. Baseball lends itself to deep statistical analysis. I lend myself to deep statistical analysis. I’ve always been a nerd for numbers, and I’ve always felt that numbers – the computing, the compiling, the romanticizing, the archiving, the comparing, the revering – are at the core of baseball more so than any other sport. A reductionist would call Around the Nation’s series on BBCOR bats a love letter to statistics. I’d agree.
