MBMavs20 Pitch Edits 2023

[MBMavs20]

Hello everyone, now that the season has started, I will post my pitch edits for the 2022 season. I hope you enjoy them.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

2022 data is under sheet 7 tab at the bottom.

Now, I know pitching edits are not an exact science, but I try and make them as realistic as possible. It drives me nuts when pitchers have incorrect pitches.

The following list of pitchers are listed with a Knuckle-Curve as their Curveball because I feel it best represents the movement of their Curve:

Ryan Burr, Michael Kopech, Jose Cisnero, Jake Odorizzi, Zach Jackson, Josiah Gray, German Marquez, Jose Ruiz, and Alex Lange.

ALL other pitchers who throw a Knuckle Curve should have it listed. I mentioned the above pitchers because they don't throw a Knuckle Curve. However, since they throw a faster Curveball, the Knuckle Curve better mimics the break of their curve. Hope that makes sense.

For pitchers listed with only 2 pitches, I give them a 4 Seam or Running Fastball as their 3rd pitch, and give them 15 control and 10 break.

I will also update injured pitchers who did not pitch last year and add rookies as they get promoted to the Show.

As always, feedback is welcomed.

No knuckle curve for Gerrit Cole?

For pitchers with only 2 real pitches, does setting the third to have 15 control and 10 break influence the AI i.e. does it make the AI use the pitch less often?

Gerrit Cole does have a Knuckle Curve. Listed as his 3rd pitch.

That is a good question that maybe the developers could answer. My understanding is the AI will use the BB/9 rating when you sim a game, so the pitch ratings are more for the human player.

My bad, didn't see his name in that list in the OP

I was talking about during played games - have you noticed a difference in usage?

[MBMavs20]

Not really. It’s mostly relief pitchers who only throw 2 pitches and they usually last 1 inning, 2 almost.

Any chance you could do Jhony Brito from the Yankees? He’s made two starts so far and looks pretty damn good.

Hey MBMavs,

I've always appreciated your work.

Have you ever listed your formula for how you do this?
