Every category, none of them entered
Each club opens a full offensive sheet — average, plate appearances, doubles, triples, home runs, RBI, walks, strikeouts, hit by pitch, stolen bases, sacrifices, on-base, slugging, OPS — with a totals row reading .000 across eighteen games. The standings page offers individual batting, fielding and pitching leaders and their team equivalents, and none of them carry an entry.
A division that has conceded 335 runs to one club and 81 to another is generating a great deal of data, all of it stopping at the scoreboard. Statistics on High Cheese fall out of the box score as it is entered and follow a player between clubs, divisions and seasons, so filling those columns is a consequence of recording the game.
