About NRFI Stats
NRFI (No Runs First Inning) tracks whether a starting pitcher holds the opposing lineup scoreless in the first inning. A high NRFI rate indicates a pitcher who consistently gets through the first without giving up runs — a key signal for first-inning prop bets.
Through 26 starts this season, Elder has held the first inning scoreless 20 times (76.9% NRFI rate). He's averaging 0.54 runs, 1.00 hits, 0.92 Ks, and 0.54 walks per first inning this season.
Opening Line Analytics combines Elder's historical stats with real-time lineup data and 10,000-iteration Monte Carlo simulation to generate a combined NRFI probability before every start.
