The Luckiest and unluckiest players this spring

by Bososx13 on Mar 25, 2026 7:20 PM EDT

I thought Cistulli's Scout+ was a great way to use spring training stats. So I figured out the Z-Score for Scout+ and subtracted it from the Z-score in wOBA. This way I could find the most lucky and unlucky players this spring.

Here are the 5 most unlucky
