FanGraphs: The Odds of Hitting for the Cycle

[ettin]

A mathematical article on the odds of hitting for the cycle: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-odds-of-hitting-for-the-cycle/

 

However, my favorite line is this: "Since triples are the hardest part of hitting for the cycle, we have to wonder how easy it will be for a bulky Trout to leg out a triple as he advances in age."

 

Made me laugh.

There's a Special on Bulky Trout at Fangraphs?

Trout leads all of baseball with 6 triples so far this season. Considering only two players have ever hit for the cycle three times and not that many more that have done it twice, I wouldn't be holding my breath waiting on Trout to do it again. As a franchise the Angels have had 7 players hit for the cycle.

If the Fangraphs data is correct, then you are twice as likely to flop a straight flush with 2 suited cards, then a hitter is to hit for the cycle.

I like his, though. It spells "asshat".
