Alternative Starting Pitcher Records At The Break

The traditional pitcher win/loss record does not exist anymore as far as I'm concerned, but I do enjoy tracking some alternative records using some more telling stats. Below are what Royals pitchers records look like using win probability added, game score, and quality starts as measures.

Win Probability Added - A win for every start with positive WPA.

Shields 14-6

Santana 9-9

Guthrie 9-10

Davis 8-10

Mendoza 6-9

Chen 1-0

Smith 0-1





Total       47-45

Game Score - A win for every start with a game score of 51+.

Santana14-4

  1. Interesting. Even Davis and Mendoza grade out decently when you consider they are only #4 and #5 starters. Chen to 5 spot makes sense, however, as we may be able to get a bag of balls for him in a trade. Mendoza needs to refocus.
