WHAT? Was that a mistype? 200 pitches per 9 innings? So 100 pitches per 4.5 innings?
Um, are these numbers typical because I have to say that is NOT what I'm seeing in my neck of the woods.
I recalculated taking a random sample of 6 teams, and it's actually 150 pitches per 9 innings on average. This is the lowest division in CA.
With 200 per 9 it was 22.2 pitches per inning. At 150 per 9 it is down to 16.6, that is not great but it's more reasonable than 22.2 per inning. Thanks for checking.
