Been messing around with adjusting the total pitches based on the total pitches and pitches in an inning to see if pure pitch counts can’t be improved on. I'm pretty sure I have that done fairly well. Its been suggested that the amount of rest between innings for the pitcher should also be a factor, and now I’m trying to get a handle on that as well.
Here’s the theory. Let’s say 2 pitchers throw a 25 pitch inning. The pitcher who gets say 20 minutes rest before having to pitch again will be less fatigued than the one who only got 10 minutes rest. That seems like good common sense and not something I’d argue with, but how would that be represented?
Getting the rest time for me is no problem at all since I have a clock running all the time anyway. Whether that time should be factored in, and if so how, is the question.
