Misiorowski and Coors Field Recalculations post Statis-Pro Season

fff

While we will soon be moving to Value Add Basketball to get the great women’s teams on the court, we did catch a couple of things in our postmortem on the Statis-Pro baseball season.

More Accurate Pitcher Cards

We finally have truly accurate ranges for determining the results on pitchers’ cards.

We noted during the season that one reason the Brewers were not as good in the game as they were in the actual season was that Jacob Misiorowski was very good but also walked a lot of batters. The card shown is what his card would have looked like based solely on this season’s statistics.

We have now built extremely accurate tables to calculate how many hits, strikeouts and walks should appear on every pitcher’s card.

You still first need to calculate the pitcher’s PB — 2-9, 2-8, etc. — and then divide his hits, strikeouts and walks by his total batters faced and look up each percentage on the appropriate chart.

For example, Misiorowski is a PB 2-9. The MLB average for hits allowed is about 22%, while Misiorowski allowed hits to only 14% of the batters he faced. That gives him just 8 hits on his card, from 11-18.

The average strikeout rate is about 22%, which would put 16 strikeouts on a PB 2-9 card, while Misiorowski struck out an incredible 38% of the batters he faced. That gives him 27 strikeouts on his card.

Finally, the average walk rate is about 9%, which would produce 6 walks on the card, while Misiorowski walked only about 6% of the batters he faced. That gives him just 4 walks on the card.

Once those three numbers are determined for any pitcher, every remaining result among the 64 possible 11-88 readings is an out.

Playing Every Team Helps Us Catch the Glitches

One reason we play every team every year in Statis-Pro is to see if we catch any glitches.

For example, we threw in a game with the 29th-place Rockies hosting the 30th-place Los Angeles Angels because neither team had played during our pods.

What immediately jumped out was the Rockies’ home field. The average DEEP drive was going out for a home run at the same rate as it would in an average ballpark, so Coors Field really wasn’t playing like the extreme hitters’ park that it actually is.

In an average park, a DEEP result is a home run on 11-35, while 36-88 results in a deep fly with runners advancing. But we realized that simply adjusting the home-run range doesn't fully account for ballpark differences. Some parks also produce significantly more singles, doubles or triples.

We have now updated the ballpark charts to build those additional factors into the game.

When you look at the chart below, you will see that Colorado is now the ultimate hitters’ park: every DEEP reading on a card results in a hit of some kind, with the runners always advancing one base farther than the batter.

And here are the charts for calculating pitchers' cards moving forward.

Value Add Resumes After Phillies Win Statis-pro World Series

 

See if you can find the basketball behind Caitlin Clark's back - the three defenders couldn't - then watch for yourself and try to find a higher-IQ basketball play than this one between Clark and Lexie Hull from the Stanford 2021 team in the free Value Add Basketball Game.

Facing a potential five-second call, Clark throws the ball in just hard enough for it to dribble backward nearly 80 feet past every defender, but just soft enough for Hull to retrieve it and get it back to her. At that point, Clark drives and draws a triple-team, which she eludes with a behind-the-back pass.

Hull basically falls down running so hard when the pass goes past her, then reverses to run 80 feet to save the ball, then reverse again to dribble twice and pass to start the play in earnest.

Shifting from baseball to basketball after Phillies won our Statis-Pro baseball title.

Since it isn't really college basketball season yet, but it is WNBA season, we will start by resuming our tournament of the greatest women's college basketball teams of all time. Here is the complete list of team rankings:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZWlwZtI4kBRY6gFOR-W_6Yf2zVmMjWKEiqFbi85saxQ/edit?usp=drivesdk

Before shifting our focus to baseball, the 2002 UConn women's team survived a scare from the 1991 Virginia team.

We already played out the first batch of all-time great teams, with Pat Summit's Tennessee Lady Vols winning the title. But this tournament brings some new teams into play.

Deja vu - Tucker HR Barely Makes It Out to Tie, then Schwarber Same Spot HR to Make Phillies Statis-Pro World Series Champs

The Los Angeles Dodgers rallied from a 3-0 deficit to keep their hopes alive for a fifth Statis-Pro Baseball title in seven years when Kyle Tucker hit a DEEP drive on his card, and the subsequent random number of "42" barely made it out of Citizens Bank Park (Home Run 11-45, Deep Fly Out 46-88) to tie the game, 3-3, in the top of the 8th.

In an all-time déjà vu moment, Kyle Schwarber then hit a DEEP fly as well, and it left the park in the same spot, just over the fence, on the same "42" random number. A "42" is deep enough for a home run in only nine of 30 MLB parks, while DEEP flies in an average park go out on an 11-35.

José Alvarado then wrapped up the win with a 1-2-3 9th inning, and the Philadelphia Phillies, in their first World Series appearance in our 11 modern Statis-Pro seasons, shocked the heavily favored Dodgers to end their streak. The Phillies barely beat out the Seattle Mariners, who had lost the last two Statis-Pro World Series to the Dodgers, to make the final round with L.A. and the Tampa Bay Rays.

Because Tampa won the tiebreaker with the Dodgers, the Rays are officially the runner-up for the second Statis-Pro season, having also lost to the Dodgers in our 2020 Statis-Pro World Series.

Just for fun, we finished off the rest of our four-colored deck with a 29th place game - and the Colorado Rockies beat the LA Angels 8-2. Edouard Julien's 3-run homer keyed a 7-run 3rd inning that made it 8-2 amd no scored the rest of the way. Gabriel Hughes allowed only one hit in outching the scoreless 5th, 6th and 7th for the win. We have now played all 30 teams to make sure there are no mistakes in rosters so you can play any team you want. Scroll down for a photo of theor scoresheet.

Betts' 3-run Homer Gives Dodgers Hope - Must Beat Phillies 3 in a Row to Win 2026 Statis-Pro Title

Mookie Betts rescued the Dodgers from the brink of elimination with a 3-run homer in the bottom of the 2nd inning, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto shut down the Tampa running game that had beaten the Dodgers with seven stolen bases in the first match-up. You can play your own free Statis-Pro game.

Yamamoto allowed only one stolen base, to Jake Fraley, who did score the only run, and picked off Richie Palacios in the 5th inning. Teoscar Hernández then hit a solo homer in the bottom of the 5th to extend the lead to 4-1, and Kyle Tucker doubled in the 7th, went to third on a wild pitch, and then came home on Freddie Freeman's single for the final 5-1 margin.

The Dodgers would have been eliminated with a loss, but the 5-1 win means they can still win the Statis-Pro Baseball 2026 World Series—but only if they now beat the Philadelphia Phillies three times in a row. One twist is that if they lose the next game against the Phillies, then the Phillies would clinch the World Series in pool play with a 4-0 mark. That would actually leave Tampa listed as the runner-up for the 2026 season, since Tampa would hold the run-differential tiebreaker in head-to-head over the Dodgers, with both teams finishing 1-3 in the championship pool.

However, if the Dodgers win, they finish pool play 2-2 with the Phillies at 3-1, and we stipulated in the Championship Pool that teams would extend play past the four games, if needed, until one team had four wins to claim the title. So a Dodgers win would give them two wins and hold the Phillies at three, meaning the Phillies would still need only one more win, while the Dodgers could win two more after the next victory to get to four wins and claim the 2026 title. We did decide that relievers would be able to pitch in both of those additional games if necessary.

Tyler Glasnow (a PB 2-8) will take the mound for the Dodgers in Philadelphia against Jesus Luzardo (PB 2-7). The bullpens are available for both teams except for Dodgers closer Edwin Diaz, who gave up the game-winning homer to the Phillies' Kyle Schwarber in the first match-up, and Phillies closer Jhoan Duran, who saved the 2-1 win, as well as setup man Orion Kerkering, who won that game.

Schwarber's 3 homers in 4 at bats put Phillies 1 win from 2026 title

Kyle Schwarber made it three homers in four at-bats, counting the game-winner to end the 2-1 win over the Dodgers in the previous game, as the Phillies crushed Tampa Bay 8-3 to move within one win of their first Statis-Pro World Series title.

Schwarber started the scoring with a two-run double in the first inning, then homered in the third and fifth to finish with five RBI. The win puts Philadelphia in control of the three-team championship pool.

Phillies One Win Away

The path from here is much simpler than it looks: Philadelphia needs one more win to become champion. Tampa Bay and the Dodgers need to keep winning to stay alive. Tampa is the only team that does not control their destiny - the also need the Dodgers to beat the Phillies for them to stay alive.

Tampa Bay plays at Los Angeles next, with former Met Freddy Peralta facing Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

• If the Dodgers beat Tampa, the Rays are eliminated. The Dodgers would then need to beat Philadelphia and beat the Phillies again in a winner-take-all finale for the title.
• If Tampa beats the Dodgers, Los Angeles is eliminated. Tampa would then need the Dodgers to beat the Phillies in the pool finale to keep them from clinching, and then Tampa would also need to beat Philadelphia twice in a row to win the title.
• Any Philadelphia win ends the season with the Phillies as champions.

So Philadelphia is one win away, while either challenger must run the table from here to see which two teams are added to the annual update of Statis-Pro champions and runners-up.

Here is the scoresheet of the Phillies blowout win.

Tampa Steal 7 Bases to Shock Snell and Ohtani to Beat Dodgers 8-2

The Los Angeles Dodgers seemed to be cruising toward a fifth Statis-Pro Baseball championship with eight straight wins heading into our three-team World Series. Then Kyle Schwarber's ninth-inning, game-winning homer handed them their first loss, and Tampa Bay followed by stealing seven bases to shock the Dodgers 8-2.

The Dodgers went 4-0 in the first two pools — preliminary and semifinal — but are now 0-2 in the Championship Pool. If a team loses three games during the initial four-game, home-and-home pool play, it is eliminated. That means the Dodgers must win their rematches against both Philadelphia and Tampa Bay to stay alive for their fifth Statis-Pro World Series championship.

The Dodgers had outscored their first eight opponents 54-18 before their 2-1 loss to Philadelphia, but this game was trouble almost from the moment Shohei Ohtani took the mound.

Wander Franco opened by hitting a grounder to the normally sure-handed Freddie Freeman, who won Game 7 of our 2025 Statis-Pro World Series with a 13th-inning home run. Freeman bobbled it for an error, and Franco promptly stole second and third while the next two batters were retired. Those were the first two of Franco's four steals in the game and seven stolen bases for Tampa Bay.

The scrappy Rays have only the 23rd-highest payroll in baseball at $107 million, but actually have a better record in real MLB play than the Dodgers, who are neck-and-neck with the Mets for the largest payroll at $336 million.

With two outs and Franco on third, Jake Fraley walked and stole second. Gavin Lux then had a chance for a Clutch Batting (BD) play, which occurs occasionally when a batter comes to the plate with runners on base.

In our version, the BD play produces one of three results: any Random Number that would normally be a single on the batter's card (11-21 for Lux) becomes a bases-clearing double; any number that would normally be an extra-base hit or deep drive (22-33) becomes a home run; and any higher number becomes a foul ball, with the batter remaining at the plate.

Lux drew a 17, turning what normally would have been a single into a two-run double and giving Tampa Bay a 2-0 lead.

The Dodgers came back to tie the game 2-2 in the top of the fifth, but Franco walked in the bottom half, stole two more bases and scored on a Yandy Díaz single to make it 3-2. That proved to be the winning run.

Junior Caminero later scored on a Jake Fraley sacrifice fly to extend the lead, and Drew Rasmussen earned the win with five innings of work.

Tampa Bay eventually pulled away for the 8-2 victory, dropping the previously unbeaten Dodgers to 0-2 in Championship Pool play.

We are now halfway through pool play, with Philadelphia at 2-0, Tampa Bay at 1-1 and the Dodgers at 0-2. Each team still has a rematch against the other two teams to complete pool play.
