Pitch counts in deadball era

woburn · 07-02-2004, 10:41 AM

Playing a league starting in 1901 and noticed under 'Team Strategies', the computer teams seem to be setting a pitch count of 105/110 for any starting pitcher under a certain age, approximately 23.

This is causing some unusual stats, Christy Mathewson making 40 starts with 0 complete games despite an endurance rating of 99 for example.

Probably the pitch count logic isn't needed for deadball eras, or perhaps the quantity should be much higher.

Forgot to mention, talking about OOTP6.

Just a bit more info - after 2 seasons, here are the leaders in games started. You can see that youngsters like Mathewson, Noodles Hahn, Tom Hughes, Earl Moore, and Doc White threw a lot fewer complete games & innings because they were under 24.

A guy like Jack Harper is a good example also; in 1901, he was 23 yrs old, and completed just 2 of 39 starts. In 1902, now he's 24, and completed 30 of 39 starts.
