Pizza Cutter: On the 100 pitch limit

As the game wears on, every ten pitches seems to tip the OBP balance toward the batter by about a point or .1%.  At some point, there comes a time where there is a more effective option in the bullpen.

That goes with a couple points of SLG. The absolute level of his numbers is a little weird, but the conclusion is clear.

I'm not sure this study is that useful until we know when this point is. Still, great first stab, I look forward to reading more.

I re-ran the numbers and updated them. They should make a little more sense.

I hadn't noticed. Then I looked. And I lol'd.

An interesting question you could get from this data is how much of the benefit a pitcher gains by converting to relief is from the "first time through the order" effect, as opposed to no longer having to pace himself.
