Leverage Observations

By Tangotiger

Good stuff from Steve, giving us the lay of the land.

With regards to the age thing, I’d like to see a corresponding line that shows the WPA/LI of the pitchers, because I would presume the older pitchers (those allowed to pitch in MLB) must be the really good pitchers. Nonetheless, I think the point would still remain that a young pitcher is not going to put thrown into the fire too quickly.
