An overviewĪ little background here… Back in October when I begin setting up the Pitching Grade Challenge, I search the year’s stats and start the process of choosing the pitchers. How did we do? What pitchers did we guess right on? Who did we miss? What weird anomalies were there? For me, it’s always fun to look back. I am sure there are more that I missed.Today, I thought I am going to step back and take a bird’s eye view of how everyone voted. This was just a quick run through of the rosters. All have a similar number of starts but the others all have way more relief innings, yet Key and Ortiz get the second C and the * on the card. Just for comparison’s sake, look at Bryce Florie, Kirt Ojala, Miguel Batista and/or Kent Bottenfield side by side with Jimmy Key and Russ Ortiz. WHITE C(C*)Z 69 games 3 starts 98.2 IP (15.1 as a SP, 83.1 as a RP) LOWE C(C*)Z 63 games 10 starts 123 IP (38 as a SP, 85 as a RP) The following pitchers have the * which would make them LABL Retro eligible.Īppears to be random decisions on doubling the grade and adding the *. I understand Escobar not getting a * with the limited relief innings, but a lot of these would qualify for LABL Retro based just on their relief numbers, yet no *. ESCOBAR CX 22 games 10 starts 79.2 IP (74 as a SP, 5.2 as a RP) SANTANA C 35 games 19 starts 145.2 IP (116.2 as a SP, 29 as a RP) BUSBY CYĒ6 games 2 starts 46 IP (10.2 as a SP, 35.1 as a RP) BOTTENFELD CY 44 games 17 starts 133.2 IP (100.1 as a SP, 33.1 as a RP) BATISTA Cĕ6 games 13 starts 135 IP (71.1 as a SP, 63.2 as a RP) WEATHERS CYĔ4 games 9 starts 110 IP (49.2 as a SP, 60.1 as a RP) OJALA CĔ1 games 13 starts 125 IP (73 as a SP, 52 as a RP)ĭ. FLORIE CYĔ2 games 16 starts 133 IP (92 as a SP, 41 as a RP) JOHNS Cē1 games 9 starts 86.2 IP (41 as a SP, 45.1 as a RP)ī. MARTINEZĜYZĕ3 games 5 starts 91 IP (26.1 as a SP, 64.2 as a RP)ĭ. CHOUINARDĜZĒ7 games 2 starts 41 IP (6 as a SP, 35 as a RP)Ī.
They would be ineligible under our Retro rules.ī. These pitchers have enough innings pitched on the season to qualify as a reliever but do not have enough starts and do not have the * on their cards. The rules notations are for the league I was preparing to draft.
Not sure how the format will look here and I apologize if is difficult to read.
I have wondered about it before but thought I would throw it out to the forum for your thoughts. In prepping for a league draft, I noticed some inconsistencies in APBA’s grading of pitchers.
