Taking it one step further, I was able to target 3 starting pitchers who truly showed very good real life stats, but they have comprised only 30% of all my pitcher at bats and 7% of my total at bats. It's more than noise in the grand scheme of things, but not much.
Below is a quick chart that depicts OPS scores for all batters and pitchers by team. The best hitting staff in the game belongs to John McDonald Fanclub. Led by Bob Caruthers (.364 / .486 / .600) and Jim Tobin (.270 / .300 / .350) Jason B has set the standard. Interestingly, these two hardly pitch at all, rather, their AB's are coming from pinch hitting duties.
Excluding John McDonald, the next best team is Colorado. Al Orth is batting .240 / .230 / .240 and The Big Train .210 / .240 / .340
If interested, here is a complete list of totals for each team - pitcher vs batter.
Lou, I knew you would make this post eventually. I've been found out!
ReplyDeleteBob Caruthers is a pinch hit machine....Pitching not so great, so luckily he's only pitched 9 innings.
I would hate to see what Tobin would do on the mound. Thankfully he's slotted as my 4th mop-up pitcher. Let's hope it never gets that bad.
Caruthers will never go un-drafted again!
