Since the earliest days of professional baseball, the game has been in a long term evolution. While a couple of players were unofficially crowned "home run kings," no one bothered counting their homers until the advent of Babe Ruth. Even Lip Pike, the first pro ballplayer and early home run king, is said to have hit a staggering 14 home runs in a season. Let that sink in. In less than 40 years, "a lot of home runs" went from maybe 14 (no one knows for sure) to 60. With the expansion era, the balance shifted, and so has every adaptation to the game, from designated hitters to changing the height of the mound to keeping baseballs in humidors.

Today, the game has changed primarily because of our ability to measure and analyze players' performance. Players don't just train for slugging percentage anymore. They train for BABIP, PERA, and YIPPY which isn't actually a sabermetric yet, but probably will be by the time you finish this quiz. As a result, physical makeup and preparation isn't what it used to be, and some teams are suffering unexpected losses and crazy injuries. It's a total paradigm shift. The good news is, we understand it all. Just answer some of our questions and we will tell you how your team will do this year!
