15 Years of Baseball Maelstrom: 2001-2015

sporr · 01-24-2006, 07:52 PM

To commemorate our 15th season, I thought I would provide some interesting stats and other tidbits from the history of Baseball Maelstrom. We started back in March of 2002 with OOTP3. Since then, we've expanded from 26 to 28 teams and have brought in around 30 Legends (2 each year) to join the originals. In this thread, I'll post some little-known records from the league, a look at ratings progression over the years as well as a breakdown of season-by-season highlights. Enjoy!

Here is a look at the progression of average ratings over the years. What you see is the average pitching or hitting rating for players on the active roster at the end of each year. There are no records available from our original season. Generally, age increased and then reached a plateau several years ago. For the most part, ratings increased gradually each season until we switched to OOTP6 at which time they have been gradually decreasing each season (with a few exceptions). Salaries rose quickly in the early seasons before stabilizing.

more, more

Just out of curiosity, is it possible that the gradual decline in ratings has to do with the average age being nearly 31 for both pitchers and batters, or is it simply because you switched to OOTP 6?

...and more random info would be great too.

Awesome stuff, Shane!! Looking forward to some of the other stats and interesting tidbits you post.

I considered that, but it seems too coincidental that it occurs exactly at the point that we made the switch.

Man, Vlad sure was dominant for that first decade, I had forgotten just how good he was in Maelstrom. Pretty impressive numbers when you consider Ted Williams has had 5 or so more years to try and beat them.

fhomess · 01-26-2006, 12:59 AM

How did you compile the player of the game awards?

I went through all of the boxscores and.....nah, just kidding.

I actually pulled them using CommishJoe's CSV exporter. It was still a tedious process since I went season-by-season (I had all of the season ending CSV output) and manually updated the players that way.

Yeah, Vlad was amazing. I think he won 6-7 Hitter of the Maelstrom's in a row during one stretch.

This just in: Homestead still sucks.

Very cool!

Really enjoyed this league, nice to see James Arvidson has had such a good career.

Erich Ingram · 01-28-2006, 11:07 PM

Personally I am just happy to see that there is a league out there that is still using my original roster file from OOTP3. The one that got it all started for full minors sets.

Now if I could just find a way to win a World Series in that league with my Padres it would be nice.

Shane how many owners are still around from the original season?

sporr Global Moderator Join Date: Dec 2001 Location: Muscatine, IA Posts: 8,277	15 Years of Baseball Maelstrom: 2001-2015 To commemorate our 15th season, I thought I would provide some interesting stats and other tidbits from the history of Baseball Maelstrom. We started back in March of 2002 with OOTP3. Since then, we've expanded from 26 to 28 teams and have brought in around 30 Legends (2 each year) to join the originals. In this thread, I'll post some little-known records from the league, a look at ratings progression over the years as well as a breakdown of season-by-season highlights. Enjoy!

TwinsFan86 Minors (Triple A) Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Auburn Hills, MI Posts: 276	Just out of curiosity, is it possible that the gradual decline in ratings has to do with the average age being nearly 31 for both pitchers and batters, or is it simply because you switched to OOTP 6? ...and more random info would be great too.
