A 103 pitcher versus an 85 position player wins almost every time. About the only time that wouldn't be the case is if a pitcher has 18+ stamina and great defensive stats. I can't say I've ever seen an 85 position guy that I thought was better.

Below average control, throw all day, high defense, etc. And here he is in his fourth season of his six year career with an ERA under 3.00. His walk rates are ridiculous, he's only cracked 60 ST% once in his career, and his WHIP is Orioles-esque. But that ERA though...

Looking at your defense helps confirm it: your defense is picking up you pitching big time! I only mention it because I want it to be clear that your defense is helping you win games. Without them, your pitching staff's ERA would be, I suspect, a goodly amount higher.

I never thought of my defense as great. But that would explain a lot actually then. Thanks for that tidbit, I probably wouldn't have noticed!

He's spending the rest of the season in AAA to try and "learn all he can". I found him on this thread as a catch & release. I pays to read the forum! Thank-you GrizzlyDan.
