Henry Chadwick, vaak de "vader van het honkbal" genoemd, was een invloedrijke, in Engeland geboren sportjournalist en historicus wiens bijdragen het spel fundamenteel hebben gevormd. Hij was een pionier in de openbare verkoop van honkbalgidsen en wordt gecrediteerd met de introductie van de box score en de "K"-notatie voor strikeouts. Chadwick's statistische innovaties, waaronder het slaggemiddelde en de verdiende puntengemiddelde (ERA), legden fundamentele meeteenheden vast voor de analyse van spelersprestaties.
