Auto-Generated Strategy Notes

  1. Claire Kellett almost never strikes out (0% K rate over 33 PA) — pitch to soft contact, not around her.
  2. Addison Beach walks 20% of the time (35 PA) — very patient, attack the zone early rather than nibbling.
  3. Austyn Smith is an extreme ground-ball hitter (73% of balls in play) — tighten the infield when she’s up.
  4. Base stealing is a major weapon: 40 attempts across 15 games (2.7/game) at a 85% success rate. Prioritize quick catcher pop times and varied pitcher hold times.
  5. Rarely bunts — no need to creep the infield corners in for bunt defense.

Stats pulled from each team’s full public GameChanger play-by-play logs. Batter identity recovered from free-text play descriptions rather than the scraper’s own (unreliable) batter-tracking column. Sample sizes are typically 20–100 PA per player — enough to see real tendencies, not enough to treat any single number as certain, especially under ~20 PA.
