He did well for a few innings then they figured him out and it wasn't such a close game.
If there are games there, and you're in the area, getting involved in the baseball community
(Remembers coronavirus exists)
Hopefully someday you can go watch some games.
As mentioned above, watch some videos. I've seen a few that kinda of break down what's happening as it happens. Baseball does have a bit of a steep learning curve. If you find any useful materials post them here. You're question isn't entirely infrequent.
There's a link in my signature for User Studies. One link in there is to a Stat Cheat Sheet which explains some of the basic statistics and gives some baseline values. That may be useful to you.
Valkommen och jattebra!

Tack för inlägget!
I live 20 minutes from Leksand. The most successful Swedish club with 22 championships so when times become more normal (Covid) i can watch som live baseball.
Right now to my morning coffee i watching the world series game 6 from 2016 (Cubs vs Indians) - so much new stuff, completely different to anything sports wise for me. Very motivating to learn new things. Like i said in a previous post: this sport have potential for me!
I will post any useful material here if i find it for other mega-rookies.
Thanks for your time and for the links!
