Henry Chadwick, often hailed as the "father of baseball," was an influential English-born sportswriter and historian whose contributions fundamentally shaped the game. He pioneered the public sale of baseball guides and is credited with introducing the box score and the "K" notation for strikeouts. Chadwick's statistical innovations, including the batting average and earned run average (ERA), established foundational metrics for analyzing player performance.
