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.

Pitchers of All-Time
Baseball Evaluation
Career (Regular Season) |

|
| Roger
Clemens - #3 (1984-2007) |
From
Stat
Geek Baseball's, the Best Ever Book
As Clemens pitched throughout his career, it was pretty much
acknowledged that you were witnessing one of the games best pitchers,
right up there with Young and Walter Johnson. Most thought of him as a
notch above Maddux, particularly because he could dominate a game with
the strikeout in a way Maddux could not, plus he was considered a
better big game pitcher. And he certainly was up there in class. Now,
we once again don't know if or how the PED allegations of recent years
affect those thoughts; they certainly don't add to the luster. For some
reason, we don't think Clemens will suffer the demotions as much as
Bonds might when the full blush of the era is in better view, but
that's only a perception way on the outside of the actual facts. But
with the career that we know about and the seasons and stats that are
in clear view, Clemens ranks at the #3 Pitcher of All-Time for his
career.
Let's answer the question right up front. Why is Clemens Category Rank
ranked below his contemporary on the mound, Greg Maddux? It's
really pretty easy; he was less durable. They pitched during the same
years with Clemens beginning his career only two years earlier
and
stopping one year before, but Maddux pitched more innings
despite
a career that was solely within the National League where the
manager had
IP 4916.7 16 to pinch hit for the pitcher in close games. Now, Maddux
did not get pinch hit for as much as some; he was a fine hitter, but if
you look down the list of seasons, you'll see why Clemens fell short in
that regard, logging five seasons below 200 innings from the age of
24-40. Maddux had only one. Clemens had four seasons, 1993, 1995, 1999,
and 2002, when his PEVA Pitching rating fell below 10.000; Maddux had
none. So while Clemens may have been the pitcher you'd select for that
one game; Maddux took the ball more often and won the game he took it
in. There's not a whole lot to choose between the two in rate stats;
the 10.55 vs. 10.34 for Clemens in WHIP9 probably better considering
the league differentials with the same acknowledgment for the
ERA
(in Roger's favor anyway), and Roger's prowess did not wane in his
final years quite as much, although there might be a reason why.

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 |
