Henry Chadwick, spesso acclamato come il "padre del baseball", fu un influente giornalista sportivo e storico di origine inglese i cui contributi hanno plasmato il gioco in modo fondamentale. Fu un pioniere nella vendita al pubblico di guide sul baseball e gli è attribuita l'introduzione del box score e della notazione "K" per gli strikeout. Le innovazioni statistiche di Chadwick, tra cui la media battuta e la media dei punti guadagnati (ERA), hanno stabilito metriche fondamentali per analizzare le prestazioni dei giocatori.
