Statis-Pro Baseball Pitcher Cards Projected

For our baseball readers, we have completed the projected pitching cards for each team, which you can access by clicking this link. We will display the ridiculously good Los Angeles Dodgers rotation as our example. Note, we did correct a formula the morning of April 1 that updated PB numbers for a number of pitchers.

For those of you who do not know the game, here is what each column means. 

Number next to the team (LAD for LA Dodgers in this case) is our suggested pitching rotation (1-6, though we just use the first 4 when playing our games) and then No. 10 is the ace reliever and the relievers cards are rated from best to worst.

The PB number is the key to the Statis-Pro game as it is a 2-12 dice roll (or card flip) that determines if they pitcher keeps the action on his card (in his range) or puts in on the batter's card where extra base hits can occur.

PB 2-9 means a pitcher in the top 5 percent of all pitchers in WAR per inning pitched, and the Dodgers have a rare PB2-9 starting pitchers - meaning all those pitchers keep the action on their card 83% of the time with only 10, 11 or 12 rolls ending up on the batters card. Decades ago it was rare to have a PB2-9 starter, but starters went 9 innings. Now there are more, but it is partly because they only have to throw hard for 6 innings typically (see max innings).

PB2-8 is next best, then PB2-7 is still strong, and PB 47 is average controlling the action exactly half the time, and then down to weaker pitchers.

After that the ranges tell what happens if the action is kept on the pitcher's card, and a random number or two 8-sided dice rolls from 11-88. So 11 is always an infield single then the next lowest numbers a single to left, center or fight field then...

BK is a balk.

K is a strikeout

BB is a walk

CD-2 is an out unless the runners are on base, then the catcher must make a clutch play like preventing a passed ball or fielding a ball in front of the plate.

WP is an out unless runners are on base - then it is a wild pitch.

Out is an out.

The next three numbers calculate when a pitcher will get tired.

SR is a starting pitcher's endurance, and it drops 1 every time the pitcher allows a hit, walk or hits a batter, as well as every time an earned run scores.

RR is the same for a relief pitcher.

IP is the maximum number of innings a pitcher can pitch.

Fielding is the chance a pitcher makes and error or a clutch defensive play, but at this point every pitchers starts average until we update fielding.
