Welcome to the first Series Report! A Series Report is much the same as a Game Report, but measures across stats from the entire series. As such, it is effectively a recalculation of the Game Score and Impact, not an average or a sum. Therefore, a player such as Nick Martini may have a very high Impact in one game (July 4) and a much lower Impact on the Series as a whole. Remember, Game Score is a measure of a player’s performance in the playing time they were given, while Impact is a scaled Game Score based on various stats that ultimately track with total bases. Let’s get to the stats:

Jake Fraley is the leader on Game Score for the series, but limited plate appearances kept his Impact down. Juan Soto was the leader in Impact across both teams, checking in with a couple hits, one homerun, a couple RBI, and four walks. Soto was a tough out for the Reds, even if his average wasn’t particularly outstanding. Total Impact favored the Yankees, largely thanks to the Reds striking out 31 times compared to the Yankees’ 13. Ultimately, it was a fairly even series that the Reds pulled out with some clutch hits and a little luck.
