Bullpen fatigue

pgjocki · 09-17-2025, 11:02 PM

Is anyone else having extreme issues with bullpen fatigue? I feel like I have the absolute weakest human beings ever born as relief pitchers because if they throw 25 pitches on Tuesday they go to 7% fatigue and then show red and exhausted until Saturday. Basically I can only use a reliever once a week or else they stay exhausted and just serve up meatballs.

What is your Relief Pitcher Stamina modifier set as?

I just looked at it was set at Low. I don't remember changing that setting so I don't know if that is the default. I just changed to normal and will monitor my pen the next few days to see if there is any difference.

It sounds like you are referring to the "Pitcher Stamina" Strategic Tendency (which has options like "High", "Normal", "Low".

That plays a major factor, but would also affect Starting Pitchers also. On the right side of that page there are separate modifiers for "Starting Pitcher Stamina" and "Relief Pitcher Stamina" that can be modified more precisely (i.e. it is a number like 1.000) so you might look at that if your Starting Pitchers seem OK, but your Relievers do not.

"Low" is standard for "Pitcher Stamina" if you are playing the modern era.
