I remember being five years old ripping through packs of Topps baseball cards and looking at the back. The statistics fascinated me. Iā€™d 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.
