Spring training stats should generally be taken with a huge grain of salt, and that's even more important this year, with teams able to "roll over" innings and starting pitchers coming in and out of games repeatedly to protect their arms while they get their work in. Plus, as manager Gabe Kapler pointed out after Tuesday's five-homer performance in windy Goodyear, the ball absolutely flies in Arizona, skewing stats and perceptions.
There still are things you can take from the games, though. Logan Webb's spring performance, for instance, has proven that his improved changeup might lead to a breakthrough. Mauricio Dubon's spring appears to just be building off his strong second half in 2020.
There are some stats that matter, and many that stick out this time of year. Here are five from the first 22 Cactus League games, with some thoughts on whether you should buy them or toss them aside with Opening Day approaching.
