Pitcher Ratings Updated for Statis-Pro Baseball Prior to All-Star Game

Both Commissioners who have rotated Statis-Pro AL and NL seasons since the 1980s have been almost completely sidelined from this Statis-Pro baseball season by work demands. We have managed only a few games this season using the 2026 projected cards, but in honor of the All-Star break we just spent time with a neat mid-season card update.

If you click on the team-by-team pitcher card sheets, you will see the neat updates after going through every pitcher. 

We added a column so each pitcher is in one of four categories, and you can decide whether or not to use players in the first two categories; a) not listed means they aren't on the roster at all, someone like AJ Puk with a long-term injury. b) inactive. If a player had a projected card made beginning of the year but is currently inactive is included on the sheet BUT if they didn't have a projected card and are just inactive we do not make them a card. c) active, meaning they are on the active roster and even if they didn't have a card we have at least added their name. d) All-Star, and as a special twist we made every All-Star pitcher a PB 2-9, and if a pitcher was a PB 2-9 and did NOT make the All-Star team we lowered them toa  PB 2-8. More on that.

As you can see, Jacob Misiorowski of the Brewers, Parker Messick of the Guardians and Cam Schlittler of the Yankees were all only projected as PB 2-6 pitchers (below average) but as All-Stars they get huge upgrades to a PB 2-9 card. On the flip side, a number of players who were PB 2-9 pitchers did NOT make the All-Star team, some due to injuries or just being a little off their pace from recent years, so we downgraded them just one spot to a PB 2-8 - just meaning they go from the top 5% of all pitchers to the top 15% of all Statis-Pro pitchers cards. Here are the cards impacted either way.

 And the bottom table is of the top new cards created - those who were a PB 2-8 or PB 2-7 for a player who did not have a card yet and all new cards appear in blue.

Braves Bullpen Blows Chance at Revenge on Colorado in Pederson Debut

The Braves pen blew two chances to move into a playoff spot in their series against Colorado, where the all-star game was moved.

In their first Statis-pro series after Acuna's season ending injury (we leave players on 10-day DL in game but not if they hit 60-day DL or will miss the season), and the first game since they acquired Pederson of the Cubs.

Albies hit 2 homers and more shockingly Jackson hit 2 triples, and the Braves led 9-3 after 7 innings, needing only a scoreless inning or to hold the Rockies to 1 run, but Minter failed to wrap it up for the 5-run sweep credit, so they just received credit for a 2 games to 1 win.

The second game they wasted 7 scoreless innings from Ian Anderson in a 2-1 10 inning loss. The Rockie likely heading somewhere else in a trade in the week ahead, Trevor Story, homered int he first game ti start the rally of Minter then went 4 of 5 woth a double, and drove in the winning run in the 10th.

Marquez not only went 8 innings allowing only one run, but also doubled at the plate.

All-Star Game 2 Scoresheets and Statis-Pro Results

 Trout, LaMahieu and Judge had three hits each, including Judge's 2-run homer that gave the AL a 5-3 win and sweep of our 2-game All-Star series. (the results of Game 1 of our 2-game All-Star series are here, while the free player cards and games are here).

Like the first game, it ended with Chapman striking out all three that he faced in the bottom of the ninth.

The NL utilized their speed on the bases to execute the hit and run to perfection - going 2 of 4 and advancing runners the other two times including Posey's RBI single in the third and RBI groundout in the 5th. Betts drove in the third and final NL run with his second double and third hit of the game.

Overall there were more than twice as many hits as in the AL 1-0 win in game 1. In that game both teams had just five hits, but the AL outhit the NL 13-8 in the second game to sweep.

We joke about the "statis-pro gods" making things happen sometimes, and we had one if those funny moments. The AL Commissioner put Rays close Nick Anderson on his AL roster, even though I had left him out of my interleague play because he tore something in his elbow early in the season and has been out for months. I left him in the pen for the 1st all-star game, but in the second game brought him in after Ohtani's 5 innings. The very first card was a Z-play, and the result was Anderson had to leave the game before facing one batter. The official z-play was an ejection for arguing balls and strikes, but im considering it an injury. The AL's four relievers who stepped in went four scoreless innings, and in real baseball Anderson is throwing off a minor league mound for the first time in months, so hopefully he returns.

The AL does not have as long a winning streak in Statis-pro as in real baseball. The NL did win 1-0 last year, when we used the pb 2-9 cards that were too strong mathmatically. However, the AL did dominate our 2019 game 5-1 and won on back-to-back Astros homers in my first year back in 2018, making the AL 4-1 since i resumed playing.
