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 19 starts this season, Rea has held the first inning scoreless 15 times (78.9% NRFI rate). He's averaging 0.32 runs, 0.58 hits, 0.74 Ks, and 0.58 walks per first inning this season.
Opening Line Analytics combines Rea's historical stats with real-time lineup data and 10,000-iteration Monte Carlo simulation to generate a combined NRFI probability before every start.
