Season at a Glance
After forty-one games into the replay, the Yankees matched their identical record at 23-18. For the balance of the
season, the Yanks were steaky; sometimes playing like they would never lose again and at other times struggling to
find a win. The replay produced 11 additional losses vs. the actual season.
Yankee replay pitching was stellar. Yankee replay ERA was 3.03 vs. 3.46 actual. Yankee replay WHIP was 1.155 vs.
1.261 actual.
The replay shortfall was revealed in the lack of batting average. The Yankees replay batting average was .245 vs. .263
actual. And consequently, their slugging percentage was also lower.
Yankee replay at-bats were 3% higher than actual due to a greater number of extra inning games.
Yankee replay home runs were 7% less, doubles 9% less, and triples 28% less. This all factored into not reaching their
Replay and Actual Record identical after 41 games (23-18)
