Games played
What is games played in baseball?
How many games played happen in the player’s career?
The games played is the key statistic for any player. It has multiple uses: the average number of plate appearances, scoring frequency, etc. The average number of games played during the player’s career is about 10 thousand – 50-60 per season. Playoff qualification adds some extra appearances for the player. The injuries or confrontation with the managing staff also affects that frequency.
