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 31 starts this season, Liberatore has held the first inning scoreless 20 times (64.5% NRFI rate). He's averaging 0.61 runs, 1.00 hits, 1.10 Ks, and 0.45 walks per first inning this season.

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