1916 negro league statistics, part v - pitching

UPDATED TO VERSION 1.3  7/9/06

 OK, same drill.  Some notes:

--Earned runs (like RBI) are usually not available, except in some game accounts.  In the future, I may try to partly make up for this by recording/estimating errors when a pitcher is on the mound; it just hadn’t occurred to me until recently.

--In some games, when innings pitched weren’t broken down for individual pitchers in the box or account, they had to be estimated; I did it based on several factors, most importantly pitchers’ stats (walks and strikeouts).  This doesn’t  happen very often, because most games (181 out of 248, or 73 percent) are complete games, and because the innings usually are broken down, one way or another.

Thanks, Scott. I was planning on putting up the latest 1921 numbers, but probably not for a few weeks. Look for some Cuban League numbers, too (including the Cuban Summer League, for which I've never seen stats anywhere).

Thanks for the information Gary. In my mind, you've become the "go to" guy for accurate NeL numbers. Your work makes these teams and players seem three-dimensional. I've seen reference to your work on the 1921 season. Any chance that you'll post the updated '21 numbers on this blog? Thanks again. Scott.
