Pitcher Fatigue / Off Days

JamieEllisOOTP · 03-25-2018, 10:26 AM

Question on pitcher fatigue. Do pitchers recover on off days? For example, if I have 5 off days between games will a starter recover during those off-days, or do they only recover on game days?

The reason I ask - I'm creating a 76 game season and I would like it to stretch from April through September. Doing so will create strings of off days (3, 4, 5 days off between games). I'm curious how this impacts pitcher fatigue (and actually player fatigue in general).

Many thanks!

Yes, they recover on off days. Having so many days will off will mean that the number one pitchers will pitch most of the games because they will always be rested.
