How to read these numbers

Games are the games Sam LaPorta played. When a player played but the box score lists no line for a stat family (for example, no receiving line), that game counts as zero, not as missing.
Season tables are regular-season games only. The game log includes playoff games, labeled, and reaches into last season when this season has fewer than 10 games.
A dash (–) means the statistic is not recorded for that game, never zero (hover it for the reason). A column with no recorded value is left out.
