OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - With Pitcher BABIP now a thing, FIP and Pitcher WAR are kind of pointless

FIP and Pitcher WAR in OOTP are premised upon a pitcher not being responsible for BABIP. But in OOTP, pitcher BABIP has a big effect on pitcher performance.

Should the game be switching to Run-based WAR (rWAR) when evaluating pitchers for things like All-Star appearances and post-season awards?

What do you think?
