How First Inning Analysis Works

What this shows

For every team, how often the 1st inning of its games produced runs: Scored 1st % — the team put up at least 1 run in its own half; Allowed 1st % — the opponent scored at least 1 in theirs; Quiet 1st % — neither side scored. Season 2026, regular-season games with a completed 1st inning only.

Finding quiet teams

The table opens sorted by Quiet 1st % — teams whose games most often start 0–0 through one inning. Green tint always means "quiet-friendly": high Quiet%, or below-average Scored% / Allowed%. Red means run-prone first innings. Tints are relative to the league average of each column.

L10 columns

The same rates over each team's last 10 games — recent form vs. the season-long picture.

Per-starter breakdown

Click any row to see that team's numbers split by starting pitcher: in games he started, how often the team scored in the 1st, allowed a run in the 1st (that's the inning he pitched), and kept it quiet. Pitchers listed as probables on today's slate carry a Starting today badge. Mind the GS column — a 2-start sample is noise.

Sorting & data source

Click any column header to sort; click again to reverse. First-inning run counts come from the NRFI model's linescore feed (updated as games play); if that pipeline is paused this page's data pauses with it. Times and "today" are Central Time.
