It would be interesting if you add the trend line of their pitches’ average velocity.
I’m surprised it wasn’t closer to 100percent until 1925 or so.
You can tell when the analytics struck
Weird how this trend line also correlates to viewership. What a coincidence
Time Traveler here. 100% of Starting Pitchers average -7 innings in 3019.
The 2026 number is exaggerated because it’s April.
Would be interesting to exclude starts in which 4+ runs are given up. Basically, just look at starts when the starter was decent or better. I bet the chart is even more sharp.
Dusty Baker pitching Kerry Wood and Prior until both their arms fell off was a big reason teams started caring about pitch counts
This chart starts after Charlie Sweeney’s famous game where he gave up seven home runs because the manager knew he’d quit if they pulled him
“Happy” Jack Chesbro’s 1904 season:
51 games started
4 Relief Appearances
48 Complete Games
41 Wins
1.82 ERA
454.2 Innings
338 hits
92 Earned Runs
88 Walks
239 Ks
11.4 bWAR
And in a 155 game season, that means he basically started 1/3 of his team’s games that year
There are starting pitchers today that would go on the IL just reading stat lines from the deadball era
I would guess it’ll be up around that 23% mark by seasons end
I actually think this is bad for baseball sue me
I was just asking this in my head. (though I was wondering about each out so 18 outs 21 outs 24 outs 27 outs etc).
So not only has it always been trending down for deep games, also the rotation went from 1+ to 6-10.
Very blessed to see a few Yankees starters going 7+ this year. It’s very nostalgic.
The way pre-1950s pitching is talked about made me think it was stead at that peak the entire time
It would be cool to compare batting average in the same time frame
I recently heard an ex pitcher (don’t remember who) explain it like so (paraphrased): I could throw around 98mph when I pitched, if I wanted, but I knew I could pitch well, deep in games around 93mph, so that’s what I worked on. Occasionally guys could pitch consistently faster, but their natural ability and anatomy allowed them to. The modern pitcher is optimized, at every level, to throw as hard as possible, regardless if their body is built to do so. Some injuries to pitchers could have a lot to do with this.
Amphetamines in the 70s?
The DH should be tied to the starting pitcher. The game is better when starters go deeper.
