Scorekeeper - one more.
The ability to hit your spots on command. Very important key indicator of an effective pitcher but very difficult to measure with standard scorekeeping metrics.
Remember I’m a baseball guy and don’t see much SB.
There aren’t any BB pitchers who can hit what I consider a “spot” with all their pitches more than 70% at best during a game. Being the SB pitchers are a lot closer and don’t have things affecting a BB pitcher like having to pitch from the stretch, perhaps they’re a lot more accurate.
While strike percentage only indicates how accurate a pitcher is, a good HS BB starting pitcher over a season will be lucky to get over 65%. What do SB pitcher get to?
