best individual performances?

Just started a new custom league, and picked up a 24 year old stud SP with my first pick.

First game of the season he throws a CG, gave up 1 run on 4 hits, 0 walks and struck out 17!

Enjoy him while he's still young and you don't have to pay him to the point where he's 25% of your total payroll

this guy will be worth every penny if he keeps pitching like this.

4-1, 1.76 era, 41 IP, 27 H, 5 BB, 60 K

domination. just gave him a three year extension

I once had a guy pitch a 1 hit shutout and go 4-4 with the bat in the same game.

I'd be interested to hear (Read?) if anyone has had a guy pitch a no-hitter and hit a HR in the same game (or even, hit for the cycle or something even rarer).

I mentioned in an earlier post that the ultimate version of this would be if a guy pitched a perfect game and hit 4 HRs in the same game lol. As I said at the time, you could probably simulate literally billions of seasons and never see it.

Yep, three of 'em. Wes Farrell, Earl Wilson, and Rick Wise all hit home runs in the same game they threw a no-hitter.

Wise was an excellent hitting pitcher.

TigerGDK · 07-27-2010, 08:54 PM

My best (in my NABA fantasy league) was a pitcher who managed to throw 6 shutout games in a season---the season after I signed him to a 5 year contract (as my highest paid player). He picked up the Cy Young with a 20-4 2.14ERA 200K season (pitched a league high 243.2 innings too). Not a bad follow on season, though a bit of a drop...18-5 3.22ERA/157K and a record 246 innings pitched.

This guy a first round pick in the inaugural who I traded for in the second season (2009). Signed him to a 6-year 64M contract after the 2013 season and he's gone 54-18 w/ 557K and 8 shutouts since. The 6 shutouts in a season he had will likely stand as a record for quite some time.

Technically if you create a league with horrid creation modifiers and create a pitcher with maxed hitting and pitching ratings, it could happen pretty easily

In fact, I'll do so and post the screenshot for you.

In my recently completed World Series, Pitcher Eddie Tantalus had a complete game 7-hit shutout with 9 strikeouts and he hit 2 home runs.

In his MLB postseason play he has started 6 games, has a 6-0 record and a 0.18 ERA.

So far in his major league career (4 seasons) he has compiled a 70-2 W/L record with an ERA of 1.64.

Grrr, The closest I've come so far (in the second season of this) was the guy pitched 14 no hit innings (an error screwed the no no), struck out 26 and went 1 for 1 with 4 walks.

Smart move, I guess Boras ISN'T his agent?

Fircoal · 07-28-2010, 01:47 AM

I got a no-hitter from Domingo Quinones, who gave up 0 walks, and notched 8 Ks. However an error ruined the perfect game (and I believe that was pretty early on too

) Funny thing is 49-32 with a 4.52 era over his career, and his highest starting season was 4.28 era. (He had a season of relief and 11 starts at 2.63 era. I would have started him more if he was liable to come out always after 5 innings, that and I literally have like 10 starters on mah team. (I think it was more like 8 then though x3))

I was fairly sure it had happened in real life, but I don't think I've seen anyone post it in OOTP.

Playing a historical league. The outstanding performances I've noted so far are:

1910 - Ty Cobb had a batting average of .470 with over 300 hits and over 200 RBIs.

1913 - Christy Mathewson pitched 23 consecutive no hit innings - last 7 innings of a game, 9 inning no hitter (28 batters faced), and the first 7 innings of the next game.

5 inning pitchers, reminded me of when I had Bruce Chen on my staff. I had him to be more of a long relief, spot start guy. But, my 5th starter imploded, So, had to turn to Chen. Chen would almost always give me 5 good innings. If I tried to keep him in the 6th, always blew up. But, 5 innings and he'd dominate.
