Entertaining and Informative
This
is a great book if you are interested in baseball at all, and is very
easy to read even if you don't know much about statistics. It's full of
interesting facts and figures, and does a great job explaining what
each rating and score is, and why it is important to the game of
baseball. I learned a lot about the history of baseball reading this,
and the writing style is great for just sitting down and reading - not
dry and boring, like you would expect a stats book to be. Highly
recommended! - 5 Stars.

Career (Regular Season) |

| Cy
Young - #2 (1890-1911) |
From
Stat
Geek Baseball's, the Best Ever Book
Yes, Cy Young would have won a whole lot of his own awards. He was the
best pitcher at the turn of the
century and many think the best pitcher in the game. And it's hard to
quibble, although some of his exploits need to be put into some
historic context. Cy Young won 511 games and pitched over 400 innings
five times. It's that durability, as well as skill, that pushes Young
toward the top. His ERA of 2.63 when adjusted for the age and park
ranks #17 on the career list. He wasn't as precise as Maddux and didn't
strike out as many batters as hurlers whose careers would start after
the turn of the century, but those were the sole items where some could
criticize him.
Only one season in a span of 19 years from 1891 to 1909 did Cy
Young fail to win 15 games, including over 30 wins in four
separate seasons. There were six seasons with an ERA south of
the
pitcher's Mendoza line of 2.00. What all that adds up to is
the
2nd Best Pitching Career in baseball history within the
baseballevaluation universe, plus an annual award given to the
best pitchers in the American and National Leagues. It's good
to
give out props where they're deserved, as the awards remind us of Cy
Young each fall.
Geez, wonder what he would think of pitch counts and two hundred inning
seasons considered as overuse. Perhaps just progress, perhaps
not.

What is PEVA?
PEVA is the acronym for Stat Geek Baseball's New Player Rating value.
This grade is given to each player and pitcher each season,
rating
their performance on a peer to peer review. Six components
for
pitchers and batters are melded together into the PEVA Rating, which
ranges each year from 0.200 to 64.000. For more information on PEVA and
the other new baseballevaluation.com Stats, see our Definitions
page. PEVA ratings are available for every pitcher and hitter
in baseball history. |
PEVA Scale
64.000 - Maximum
32.000 - Cy Young/MVP Candidate
20.000 - All League
15.000 - All-Star Level
10.000 - Very Good
3.500 - Average
0.200 - Minimum |
