Stamina

And1pg2 · 04-05-2017, 01:34 PM

On the 20-80 ratings scale, about how many pitches go into each number? If a player is a 60, what would that correlate to? I know it's not going to be exact but I am interested in seeing a low end of when I should start tracking him in game and a high end of how far I should push the pitcher. Are there any other factors that go into stamina outside of pitches?

Thanks for your help!

I see it's focused more on that players role than stamina.

See, I've had starters with like 35 stamina still go ~95 pitches, then get tired. While a reliever with the exact same stamina only go ~20 before tuckering out.

I also feel this plays into the other roles. Long Relievers for example, can go for 50+ pitches before getting tired if they have like 55+ stamina.

For starters I would say the minimum is 90 (like 35 stamina) and max is maybe 125? (At 80) but these are both real rough estimates.

RP and SP definitely different - and i think it's how they are used in the games, not necessarily their listed position or role, too (n/a to AI) - could be wrong as i don't play games out. i think an sp in an rp role without changing his position is a bad idea, nonetheless. (another guess)

125 is about as high as i see it go... one caveat - knuckleballers can throw 125 with just above average stamina (~60some/100) that i've seen... not sure how low that goes and stays true. i think maybe velocity is the cause, but could be the pitch, too.

and don't think of it as a 1:1 scale like tucker said. SP will start at some minimum #, assuming stamina isn't too extreme. 80-90-95 whatever it is, it relates to the stamina and at some point they can be unviable as starters, i assume. it should drop off below anything useable.

at the high end... it's a slow roll upward. if you want to protect yourself against tired arms pitching during long stretches with no days off, use a PC ~7-10 less than when that pitcher gets 'slightly tired' in game.

even if you don't play games out, start learning what stamina equates to how many pitches -- the variance you may see is due to inaccurate scouting, if on (or different fatigue levels to start the game, obviously). so, once you learn it well, you can know a pitchers stamina with 100% certainty in spite of your scout.

*shoudl be the same in '18, but never know for sure initially.
