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 13 starts this season, Hughes has held the first inning scoreless 5 times (38.5% NRFI rate). He's averaging 1.31 runs, 1.62 hits, 1.15 Ks, and 0.38 walks per first inning this season.

Opening Line Analytics combines Hughes's historical stats with real-time lineup data and 10,000-iteration Monte Carlo simulation to generate a combined NRFI probability before every start.
