Baseball is more intertwined in statistics than any other sport. Always has been. They tell new fans who the best hitters are. It’s a part of every ballpark in the country that has the capability for it. Rule of thumb: if you’re doing something different than literally everyone else, the onus is on you to explain why, not the other way around
