PLAYER VALUE – PITCHING
| |
Year |
Age |
IPInnings PitchedNumber of innings pitched. |
GGames PitchedNumber of games player pitched in. |
GSGames StartedNumber of times pitcher started a game. |
RRuns Allowed |
RA9Runs Allowed Per 9 IPThis is like ERA, but with unearned runs included. |
RA9oppOpponentsThe average number of runs scored by this pitchers opposition, per 9 innings. We use park factors to convert the opponent scoring to a league-average context.For in progress seasons, we consider the teams last 365 days. Interleague road games are excluded from the avg, and when the pitcher faces an interleague opp at home, we modify the opponent run scoring by .20 runs per 9inning depending on whether the DH is added or removed from their lineup. We assume a league average pitcher would allow this many runs. |
RA9defRuns per 9 IP of support from defensePositive values mean the team defense was above average. Negative means it was below average. We take the teams total balls in play, the balls in play for this pitcher and the teams total runs saved and split the runs among all of the teams pitchers. |
RA9roleRuns per 9 IP difference for SP and RPFrom 1960 on we assess factor for starters and relievers. In that time, relievers have averaged a much lower ERA, and this factor accounts for that difference. Previously, this was part of our replacement level calculation, but it has now been moved into Runs Above Avg. |
PPFpPark Factor customized for parks the pitcher threw inThese are 3-year park factors weighted by batters faced in each park. Note the one-game park factor is the team PPF/100 minus 1 times two plus one, since the factors on team pages are for home and road games combined. |
RA9AvgRuns per 9 IP for an avg pitcherThis is our best estimate of what an average pitcher would do against these opponents, with this defense and in these parks. |
RAARuns better than Avg.It is the number of runs this player is better than an average player. Adjusted for quality of opposition, parks pitched in and quality of team defense and recentered, so the league is zero. |
WAAWins Above AverageThis is the wins added by this player above that of an average player. |
gmLIgame-entering Leverage IndexSolely for relief appearances, this is the average of each appearances opening leverage index weighted by the batters faced in that outing. The average pressure the pitcher or batter saw in this game or season. 1.0 is average pressure, below 1.0 is low pressure and above 1.0 is high pressure. |
WAAadjWins Above Avg AdjustmentThis is done in recognition of the added importance of high leverage. WAAadj is the additional value of this leverage adjustment. |
WARWins Above Replacement for PitchersA single number that presents the number of wins the player added to the team above what a replacement player (think AAA or AAAA) would add. This value includes defensive support and includes additional value for high leverage situations. Scale: 8+ MVP Quality, 5+ All-Star Quality, 2+ Starter, 0-2 Reserve, < 0 Replacement Level. |
RARRuns better than Replacement LevelIt is the number of runs this player is better than a replacement player. Replacement is set for a .294 team winning percentage. |
waaWL%Win-Loss% w/ Avg. TeamThis is the win-loss of an otherwise average team in ONLY the games this player played in. For example, for a pitcher this would only consider the games the pitcher threw in and ignoring games they did not play in. |
162WL%Win-Loss% w/ Avg. Team SeasonThis is the win-loss of an otherwise average team for an entire season giving them credit for only the games this player played in. For example, for a pitcher this would be waaW-L% in the games the pitcher threw in and a .500 record otherwise. |
