One thing we've been watching over at BP is in season injury rates vs preseason injury rates.
If you only look at IL placements after Day 1 of the season 2018/2019/2022/2023 are all extremely similar. I'd have to do some data prep to see games lost for those injuries, there is a chance that shows a different story. Maybe injury severity is up but gross placements are similar.
It's the preseason injuries that have really driven the 2022/2023 season long placements higher than 2018/2019.
2021 as you noted in the piece is a massive outlier almost no matter how you look at it.
Makes Ohtani seem more otherworldly than ever, doesn’t it? Dude was asked how he does it and the first or second thing he mentioned was sleep. That’s a man who understands what the body needs.

Great point, DR. I didn't look at the dates. Thanks!
