What does Pcnt mean next to SP's?

[sjgmoney]

What is this box for (circled in red) in the Starting Pitcher list?

[ihatenames]

What the max pitch out for each starter is. If you set it to 100 they'll be pulled around 100 pitches. 0 is no limit. Pitcher will be pulled based on manager settings/fatigue etc.

Aha, me stupid. I was reading it like pcnt = percentage but it's PCnt=pitch count!!! Thanks

Whilst on this topic why do you often see closers and relievers with higher stamina ratings than starters?

[r0nster]

I noticed that but took that to mean that the relievers can pitch 2 or 3 days in a row without rest depending on number of pitches as we have noticed that on occasion relievers pitch 3 days in a row

The number of quality pitches is more important than the number of innings or throws a pitcher can make. A lot (most?) of ML RPs were SPs in HS, college and/or MiLB. It makes sense the can go deep in a pitch count. They lack the quality 3rd-6th pitch that will make hem a SP.

^this. Stamina is rarely the deciding factor between a starter and a reliever. Most relievers were starters at one point that failed. A reliever only needs one or two quality pitches because they will only see the lineup once. Reversely, a starter needs 3 or more quality pitches to keep hitters off balance when they face the lineup 3 or more times.
