The grade was pretty much determined by two factors: ERA and innings. An H is worth a point or two depending on the initial grade. /Type/Font With a 10 on flrst, it is borderline. In a quirk of the computer vs. Master Game, the latter now has an additional control rating and 4 additional strikeout ratings.So the basic formula I came up with to determine the R/36 PA variance away from the mean is listed below. /Subtype/Type1 << 0 0 0 613.4 800 750 676.9 650 726.9 700 750 700 750 0 0 700 600 550 575 862.5 875 << 799.2 642.3 942 770.7 799.4 699.4 799.4 756.5 571 742.3 770.7 770.7 1056.2 770.7 stream /BaseFont/TQIOAQ+CMBX12 << 750 708.3 722.2 763.9 680.6 652.8 784.7 750 361.1 513.9 777.8 625 916.7 750 777.8 Not going to find too many 19-Ms out there:One thing to note here is that even though the average grade is an 8 as mentioned earlier, the midpoint of the grades is pretty much between 8 and 9, as the weight of the bad numbers (especially the W) drive the relative grade (assigned grade plus subrating effects) does bring it down a bit.I enjoyed this study!

This was a smart move, as the BB/9 and SO/9 varies by the number of outs you create, but stays constant for the batters you face. OOTL Pitching Formula. << And it looks like the long held belief that an A&C pitcher (grades 23-27) is a little more advantageous than an A&B (28-30), with the ability to knock out the 9 with a runner on 1st more important than knocking an 8 down with a runner on 3rd or runners on 2nd and 3rd.In the early days of the subratings, it was noted that they were likely determined by BB/9 IP and SO/9 IP. I understand overlaps and scrambling in the high grades (A&B versus A&C).

However, that patterns seems a bit odd, since the home run letters only affect the ‘1’ play result and other factors affect home runs from the ‘2’ through ‘6’ numbers.
