Pitcher ratings

LeftyMarx · 03-14-2025, 07:18 PM

I'm curious how a pitcher with a 96mph fastball and ratings of 80, 80, 65, and 70 on his four pitches can come out with a 50 stuff. I mean, I'm not a math genius by any means, but I don't see how that works?

If you have relative ratings on, I believe in general, the pitch ratings are not adjusted to the league averages, but the stuff is. So if everyone in your league is a hot thrower, that could be the cause. If you disabled relative ratings, you'd probably see them (and a lot of others) as 80 stuff.
