RELIEVERS: Dynamics in BPIs and LI
Jul 21 2015
One of the most interesting group of relievers are those putting up top-shelf skills but not getting higher leverage work from their current team. There may be many reasons why this happens, so let's list these relievers and see if we can determine what these teams are doing. The filters used are: at least 20 innings pitched this season, 100+ BPV over the season, 100+ BPV over the past 30 days, and LI under 0.90.
Given these filters, here is the list generated:
YTD IP Dom Cmd HR/9 xERA BPV Clean/App LI LI' ============= ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== === ========= ==== ==== Caminero (PIT) 40.7 10.2 3.3 0.9 3.39 116 30/42 0.89 0.79 McAllister (CLE) 44.7 11.3 4.3 0.6 2.91 156 23/34 0.88 0.90 Salas (LAA)...
