1992 Hall of Fame

Name:  FinnBishopHOF.PNG
Views: 490
Size:  274.8 KB
Finn Bishop, RHP

Want strikeouts? Finn's got 'em. He was the MLB career leader for about a season and was the only pitcher over 3,000 career K's until Colt Thompson surpassed him this year. Bishop finished 2nd in J.P. Avila voting in 1981 which was incredibly the only time he finished in the top-3 in the award, despite leading the league five times in strikeouts. There was no denying his stuff but he did struggle with control as well, walking more than his fair share of hitters. He was born in Larne, Northern Ireland and is easily the best player from the nation.

Initial Acquisition: Drafted 1st overall in 1971 by the Devil Rays out of Island Trees

MLB Awards: 1 Youssef Raadouni GG, 4 AS

Career Stats: 3637.7 IP, 1611 BB, 3058 K, 3.59 FIP, 92 FIP-, 63.1 WAR, 50.5 JAWS

Alex Bryant, RHP

Bryant was born in Connecticut, went to college in North Carolina, and pitched for both New York teams in his career. Rumor has it he wants to retire in California. He was a highly regarded prospect and turned that into a pretty good career with consistent 4+ WAR seasons, finishing 3rd in J.P. Avila voting in 1983. He also finished 2nd in Rookie of the Year voting in 1978. Another year or two of elite production would have put him into the Hall but he falls just shy.

Initial Acquisition: Drafted 8th overall in 1976 by the Yankees out of Duke

MLB Awards: 3 AS

Career Stats: 3178.3 IP, 1160 BB, 1833 K, 3.64 FIP, 92 FIP-, 54.2 WAR, 45.2 JAWS

Filling Feeder Teams

It's time to do another dive into how this universe is working. First up is the maintenance I do before every season -- using the league settings screen to fill feeder teams with fictional players. I do this on the day before the NCAA season starts because it begins before any of the High School leagues do.

On average, there are 0.7 hitters added per team in each league and 2.1 starting pitchers. SS, CF, C, and RF are added most frequently while LF, 2B, 1B, and 3B are more rarely needed. In the test I did, no relievers were added at all, but that may be due to the fact that I limit the number of relievers on each roster in the feeder leagues.

My initial reasoning behind checking this was just to make sure that I need to continue doing so and the answer is a resounding yes. Imagine if there were 373 starting pitchers that just didn't exist in the feeder leagues?

Yep, I ran a bunch of sims and changed different aging parameters, now just have to make time to analyze all the different aging curves. I also have some tweaks I want to make with some of the code I run and I want to check WPA and ZR calculations.

I did include a link for this in the very first post in the thread. Sorry for not updating this thread lately, life has just been busy! I am right at a good break (just before the home run era starts) and I would like to make sure the aging curves are working correctly. However, now with OOTP 21 right around the corner, I may have to see what the league looks like in the new version.

Here's the first graph of the aging studies I did - these are hitters and pitchers with the aging and development both set to 1. The peak is basically 28-30 for both hitters and pitchers from all origins.

I've been trying to figure out how to wrap this aging analysis up so I can get back into this league. As of now I do intend on continuing in OOTP20 for a little while until OOTP21 is stable as I did last year.

For these charts, I took the average age of the top-3 in the Tomas Reed MVP and J.P. Avila awards for the different aging studies. The idea here is that the elite players should be in their late 20s. The horizontal line is at 28 years old and the vertical line is at 1993, when the aging study started.

The DOE number is the aging value and development value, either 0.5, 1, or 1.5. Just looking at this, it seems that an aging value of 0.5 and a development of 1 might be the best, possibly a little lower aging for hitters and a little higher for pitchers. I have been using 0.5 aging, 1.1 development for hitters and 0.8 aging for pitchers and 1.2 development.

The next thing I'm looking at is the top 20 players by WAR per season. I think this will make more sense than just the age of the award winners.

I found something that looks about right to me! Batter Aging/Development speed of 0.5 and Pitcher Aging/Development speed of 1.5 and 1.0, respectively. The top 20 players average about 29 years old, as do the award winners (not voted on by me) and the aging curves.

Another thing I did was clean up the game file on my computer a little. It had grown to almost 5 GB so I cleared out some exported data and then ran this file from RchW to clear out the messages and news. Those two things brought it down to 2.22 GB. I still have a couple of changes I'm making to my code (dealing with Regular Expressions is no fun) and I would also like to double-check how I'm voting for awards.

Then it's back to actual gameplay!

I always look forward to the Hall of Fame results but get frustrated that I can't efficiently get all the information I want in the post. Well that's going to change! I wrote some code that will allow me to automatically post in all of the acquisition, awards, and stats possible for all candidates in a year. I'll probably still only write up the top players, but all of them will now be listed.

Heathcliff Jones takes over the top prospect spot. He was drafted first overall and is a great bet to be an ace for many years to come.

Sean Hinshaw is still eligible for prospect lists but finally got a taste of the Majors last year and hit about league average in only 3 games.

1993 College Playoffs

UCLA has its second NCAA championship with its first taking place in 1933. Seven future major leagues were on the team, including an absolutely dominant pitching staff that compiled a total of four J.P. Avila Awards, one Gold Glove, one playoff MVP, two World Series championships, and five All-Star appearances. That staff was Chance Hollander, Merlin Lavigne, Evan Rojas, and Richard Young.
