Tommy Bond

Marc/sunnday 2 thinks he’s ballot worthy, so a thread makes sense for him.

Not in love with this guy, certainly behind Welch for me and I am not a FOMW by any means.

234-163, 2.14 ERA, 111 ERA+, in 3628.7 IP. Of course he threw 400-500 innings a year. I am still not sure whether or not to discount high IP totals for pitchers of his era or to chalk their short careers up to the high IP totals tiring out their arms. The rules were just so screwy, I mean how tired can you be when the batter can ask for a pitch somewhere and you throw underhand at 50 feet?

He had an RSI of 101.65, which somehow gives him the same record. I am wrong here Chris J?

His BP translated stats are not too pretty

93-104 (a .472 WP), 1770.7 IP, 5.4 K/9, and 2.4 BB/9. His K/9, BB/9, and K.BB are both better than Welch's. Though, again this is translated. I think we have plenty of pre 1890 pitchers and Bond doesn't really scream ELECT ME! to me.

Oh, I should mention I have no real way to judge peak for pitchers yet besides eyeballing WARP and WS. Hope this gets the conversation going!

He's hard to compare. Pitchers of his era didn't last long, though his direct contemporary Pud Galvin pitched twice as many innings as he did (and that's not including Galvin's IA seasons).
