The Diamondbacks played winning teams in September (more details about September opponents can be found in Picking Position Players for 2022 Diamondbacks). Nine potential starters for 2022 pitched in September (7 as starters, and 2 as relief appearances only). After we choose which stats to look at, let’s compare their September stats to averages in the Majors.
- ERA and GameScore. These two stats are basic ways to measure performance
- Fastball velocity and strikeout percent. I tip my hat to Jack Sommers for bringing up the issue of fastball velocity and strikeout percent.
