Jimenez is interesting he's that far up to where he's even with the other top 5 pitchers.

But, when I look at the same ratings scale The Show uses (H/9, HR/9, BB/9, K/9) - there's not a lot of differences between the guys mentioned here.

Halladay looks the most different because of his BB/9 (1.1 - sheez). Felix Hernandez allowed just 7 H/9 (sheez part 2) with Wainwright right behind him (7.3)

Lincecum has the most K/9.

I can see why they are all closely rated. They all performed pretty close looking at the /9 rates from last year.

They used to have a "Pitching Clutch" rating which I always assumed impacted things like that and pitcher confidence stability (so the pitcher won't get rattled as much if there's a rally against him).

I read confidence is done differently this year - maybe Pitching Clutch is still in though.

If Jimenez has a first half like he did last year, you guys will be eating your words.

By the way, who is responsible for the ratings, or how does SCEA compile them?

Who are the top 5 pitchers?

King Felix
Halladay

I think I read a few years ago that they take into consideration each player's last 3 seasons, with a stronger emphasis on the most recent year. They have some sort of formula they apply to player's statistics I think.

I could be wrong with all of this though haha
