This may improve FIP slightly. <BR/><BR/>FIP also doesn't take into account a pitchers ability to hold runners. Some pitchers are much better than others. Unfortunately, this burden is shared with the catcher so it would be difficult to incorporate this into a FIP. <BR/><BR/>Wild pitchers could also be Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15087093587490414862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17907776.post-35074358429929789932007-12-17T16:19:00.000-05:002007-12-17T16:19:00.000-05:00Relief pitchers are definitely a difficult bunch t...Relief pitchers are definitely a difficult bunch to evaluate. I need to read up some more on leverage index and see what I can do with that. <BR/><BR/>Another thought I have is to develop a statistic for quality relief appearances (QRA).

Notice that this group are the ones that often get called in to face one or two batters instead of to work an entire inning.<BR/><BR/>As you know, ERA is a terrible stat for relievers because they often come in with 1 or 2 outs and thus have lower chance of having their mistakes result in runs (at least runs that Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15087093587490414862noreply@blogger.com
