Batting order

Exactly what the lineup generator sees. Nothing here is withheld from it, and nothing it is denied is shown here.

1PA could not be matched to a batting slot — the batter was not in that game’s saved lineup — and are excluded from everything below.

Slot effect
Indeterminate (underpowered)

114 PA supports no verdict on whether order position affects production. Roughly 1000 PA — about 26 games — would. This is not a finding of "no effect"; it means the question cannot be answered on this much data.

Reordering optimally is worth about 0.2 runs/game — roughly 1 run across a 5-game tournament. Order the lineup well; do not churn it.

PA leverage

Exact arithmetic — batting higher gives more plate appearances.
