2009 National League Pitchers thru games of July 3 Friday
__________________________________________________ _____________________
PITCHERS ARE LISTED IN THREE TIERS: (all pitchers are now listed)
(A) at least 1.0 innings * average number of games played per team
(B) between (1/3) and 1.0 innings * average number of games played per team
(C) between 0 and (1/3) innings * average number of games played per team
the headings over and within each tier tell how many innings pitched
the pitchers in that particular tier have
predicted ERA = what the pitcher's ERA "should be" (NPERA) given his
raw statistics NORMALIZED to composite major league
play of 1946-1999
this is the best REAL-LIFE measure of the pitcher's true PITCHING VALUE
MARKOV CHAIN analysis is the mathematical technique used
an average pitcher will have a NORMALIZED predicted ERA of 3.87
if the pitchers are NORMALIZED, that means that their predicted ERA's
are what they would have achieved if they had pitched in the
hypothetical composite major leagues of 1946-1999.
Markov Chain NPERA represents REAL-LIFE pitching value per Sagarin.
