ok this season my pitchers are first in our league for giving up HR but second in era. I have one pitcher who was all league last season but cant seem start and not give up a HR in one of the first two innings.

So my question is do players have ups and downs and their is a bit more than random chance going into the variation of each season.

Look at Cardona in 2026, then look at the rest of his career. In case you can't tell, the answer is yes, players can just have a run of good or bad luck that lasts an entire season. It is rare, but can and does happen.

my question though is it luck or does the game have a value for each season, or something to that effect.

I don't think the game assigns a random value for every season as to how good your player does. Too many variables. Could be he's facing better competition this year, or just hasn't gotten it together yet. Now, if he falls off a cliff I might be tempted to get concerned, but if his career numbers are better than his season numbers, the season's probably an outlier.

As quanin said, it is a combination of the competition faced (teams change even in the same league), and luck (the game operates on an AB basis, but long hot or cold streaks can happen with random numbers just look at a RNG).
