Stamina question

I started a fictional league (the Interstellar League, comprising the Star Trek League and the Star Wars League), and I populated it with players by using an inaugural draft. Then I renamed players to fit my universe. One such player was Lee Kelso, who was drafted by the Starship Enterprise -- a late-round pick, as I recall. Kelso was listed as a Middle Reliever in the draft but has a stamina of 80 (on a 20-80 scale).

Well, he's pitched well so far, and my starters (the likes of McCoy, Janeway, Archer, with Picard undergoing Tommy John surgery) have not, so I figured I'd give Kelso a start, with that high stamina. But he was exhausted after 79 pitches -- probably earlier, but I hadn't been paying attention to his pitch count, as it was only the 5th inning or so and he was holding a nice 4-1 lead. Then he gave up five runs, ugh.

I guess stamina is a relative thing -- if the game lists you as a reliever, your "stamina" is relative to other relievers? I did a search here, and I found a thread on relief-pitcher-stamina modifiers, but I didn't touch any of that -- I just went with the defaults when creating my league. Or is the issue that Kelso doesn't really have a good third pitch? Here's his profile:



And here's the character from "Star Trek" -- a minor character in one episode only ("Where No Man Has Gone Before"). When I created Kelso, I figured he'd be a minor-leaguer, but with injuries and all, I need him now.
