I remember being five years old ripping through packs of Topps baseball cards and looking at the back. The statistics fascinated me. Iād go through each one, asking my dad what they meant. Over time, I have become more enthralled with the ever-growing amount of statistics that baseball has to offer. This website is the culmination of years of asking what those numbers mean. Every number has a story. An increase in pitch movement, a decrease in exit velocity, or any other change says something about what a player and team have consciously done to change their performance on the field. Here at Pipitonia, I hope to fill in the story of the numbers on the back of baseball cards.
