I don't think 3-year averages are used for PT cards. Using the 3-year average is an option in historical leagues, though.

Pitching wins and WHIP is a terrible judge of any pitcher. It relies on the team's offense and defense, which are completely out of the pitcher's control. |

There is a IP/9 component in WAR calcs. This really shows up in the 1800's and into the Dead Ball era. If you believe that WAR is reflective of a pitchers ratings as opposed to his share of wins or value to a team, than you would be forced to conclude that almost all of the greatest pitcher ratings of all-time should belong to the ones who pitched before 1920.

But it might help to explain to the earlier posters in the thread as to why, historically speaking, his ratings aren't all that special.

I just created a historical league from 1968 and ran it.
Denny won 19 games.. I used historical lineups and real transactions. I did not turn injuries off.. just remembered that... But, what I noticed is his individual ratings are different than in PG. BTW, the Tigers finished 3rd and the Twins won. Carew batted .388. Twins beating the Tigers out? Ah, now that is a bug!

I thought I've seen one of the developers say that. At least that more than one year is used.

Also, it should not be forgotten that 1968 was THE historical outlier year for dominant pitching--particularly in the AL. So much so they had to change the rules. Twisting 1968 into historical context simply won't work. It was too far off normal to even come close to a trend line.
McClain had a wonderful year, and we all enjoyed it--even those of us who weren't Tiger fans. However there was a lot of teamwork and good fortune involved in his season.
