−2.8 pp8+ game streaks vs the hitter's own rate

Hitters riding 8+ game streaks got a hit in 64.6% of their next games — which sounds hot, until you compare each one to his own season rate: they were expected to hit in 67.4%. The streak adds nothing (−2.8 pp, z = -1.9). The raw number is high because good hitters are the ones who build streaks. 39,804 games · 432 hitters · 2026
