The 2014 Major League Baseball season is over. Before we move on to the postseason, lets take a look back at some numbers from the past six months. Its been a fun season, after all. A big tip of the cap to and its invaluable Play Index for making so many of these numbers po sible to find.

First of all, if youre handicapping the playoffs, keep this in mind: the record of each of the playoff teams against the rest of the playoff teams

Tigers: 32-18 (.640)

Cardinals: 24-23 (.511) Josh Hader Jersey

Royals: 25-24 (.510)

Athletics: 23-23 (.500)

Orioles: 18-18 (.500)

Pirates: 23-24 (.489)

Angels: 22-23 (.489)

Dodgers: 24-26 (.480)

Nationals: 17-20 (.459)

Giants: 20-29 (.408)

The Tigers record is boosted by a 13-6 mark against the Royals, for whom finishing over .500 overall against playoff teams is quite the accomplishment, considering that fact. Baltimore and Washington played fewer games against playoff teams because neither leagues East division produced a wild-card team.

Victor Martinez finished second in the majors in all three slash-line categories. He hit .335, six points behind American League batting champion Jose Altuve. Martinezs .409 on-base percentage led the American League, and was one point below Andrew McCutchens figure. In slugging percentage, Martinezs .565 mark was 16 points worse than Jose Abreu. Martinez did, however, lead the majors in OPS at .974.

This was the second time in three years that nobody had an OPS of 1.000 or better (Chris Davis and Miguel Cabrera did it last year). The last time this happened was 1986 and 1988, sandwiching the 1987 season in which Wade Boggs, Jack Clark and Hernan Perez Jersey Paul Molitor all OPSd over 1.000. The National League has gone without a 1.000 OPSer since Albert Pujols and Joey Votto in 2010. The last four-year run without a 1.000 OPS in the Senior Circuit was a five-year drought from 1982-86.

Five pitchers (Clayton Kershaw, Corey Kluber, Chris Sale, Max Scherzer, and Stephen Strasburg) struck out 10 or more batters per nine innings, matching the record set by David Cone, Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, Hideo Nomo and Curt Schilling in 1997, and matched in 2004 by Johnson, Oliver Perez, Johan Santana, Jason Schmidt and Ben Sheets.

Pirates outfielder Starling Marte was thrown out at home plate six times, Brewers outfielder Carlos Gomez was thrown out at third base six times, and Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig was thrown out at second base six times. All of those totals led the majors, with Puig tied with Kyle Seager. Why isnt there any narrative about how Kyle Seager doesnt play the game the right way?

Major league strikeout leader Ryan Howard and Phillies outfielder Marlon Byrd became the first pair of teammates to each strike out 185 times in a single season. Howard fanned an extra five times to take the crown.

The Rockies Michael Cuddyer had the major leagues only cycle of the season, on August 17 against the Reds. There were nine players, though, who did better than a cycle, with four extra-base hits in a game: J.P. Arencibia, Charlie Blackmon, Cory Spangenberg Jersey Lonnie Chisenhall, Corey Dickerson, Paul Goldschmidt, Brock Holt, Yasiel Puig, Brian Roberts, and Kyle Seager. There were 204 games in which a player was a triple short of the cycle.

Reds rookie Billy Hamilton stole 56 bases, but was caught 23 times, the most in the majors since Scott Podsednik stole 59 and was caught 23 times for the 2005 White Sox.

Phil Hughes had an 11.63 strikeout-to-walk ratio for the Twins, a new major league record. The previous mark belonged to Bret Saberhagen, at 11.00 in 1994, when he pitched 32 fewer innings than Hughes did. For a non-strike season, the record belonged to Cliff Lee in 2010, at 10.28. The Twins team record had belonged to Carlos Silva, at 7.89 in 2005. It should not come as a surprise that Hughes 73.1 percent strike rate was the highest in the major leagues. David Price and Jordan Zimmermann were each at 69.8%. Hughes also gave up 22 hits on 0-2 counts, the most in the majors.

Four players Alcides Escobar, Freddie Freeman Eric Thames Jersey , Evan Longoria, and Hunter Pence played all 162 games. No player has appeared in 163 games since Justin Morneau did it for the 2008 Twins.

A.J. Burnett finished the season with a major league-high 96 walks, the fourth time in five years that nobody has walked 100 batters. The last time that happened was 1871-81, when far fewer games were played per season. Burnett went to 67 3-0 counts this season, 17 more than Sonny Gray, who had the next most. Burnett is now the active leader with 1,051 career walks. At the end of last year, it was Ryan Dempster. The year before that, Jamie Moyer. The year before that, Tim Wakefield. Will Keon Broxton Jersey there be another new active leader at the end of next year? Thats up to Burnett.

Dee Gordon led the majors with 62 infield hits. Nobody else had more than 40, the total for Gordons teammate, Yasiel Puig.

David Price became the first player to lead the American League in strikeouts in a season in which he was traded since Bert Blyleven went from the Indians to the Twins in 1985. Hes the first player ever to lead the majors in strikeouts during a season in which he changed teams unle s you count Hugh Daily striking out 483 batters for the Chicago/Pittsburgh outfit of the Union A sociation and the UAs Washington Nationals in 1884. Old Ho s Radbourn led the National League with 441 strikeouts for the Providence Grays, who played their postseason proto-World Series against the champions of the American A sociation, the New York Metropolitans.

Yankees outfielder and Hank Aaron Award nominee Brett Gardner, Cardinals pitcher Shelby Miller, and Indians infielder Jose Ramirez shared the major league lead with 13 sacrifice bunts. That is the lowest total to lead the majors ever, including strike-shortened seasons. It also was the first season since 1898 in which no active player had 100 career sacrifice bunts. Derek Jeter retired with 97, meaning the new active leader is Elvis Andrus with 87.

Rockies catchers threw out 16 would-be base stealers this season. Rockies pitchers scored 15 runs this season.

Giants ace Madison Bumgarner hit two grand slams in six plate appearances with the bases loaded. Derek Jeter retired with one grand slam in 308 career plate appearances with the bases loaded.

Brewers right-hander Marco Estrada led the majors with 29 home runs allowed, making this the first time since 1981 that no major league pitcher served up 30 gopherballs, and the first time in a non-strike season since 1976, when Gary Nolan and Catfish Hunter each gave up 28.
