Presenting the full list of Scoreless Outing Percentage (ScOtg%), Goose Eggs (GE), and related statistics for 2022.<\/p>\n
Statistics run through the end of play on October 3.<\/p>\n
These statistics aim to further measure effectiveness of relief pitchers. Scoreless Outing Percentage, which first appeared in this piece<\/a>, is based on the premise that a reliever\u2019s job is to go into the game and “put up a zero.” His goal is to not allow any more runs to score, whether they be charged to him or inherited. This percentage looks at how often he, basically, did his job.<\/p>\n Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight.com invented Goose Eggs (GE), Broken Eggs (BE), and Mehs (M). These statistics aim to measure clutch late-inning relief in a more meaningful way than the save, which is a stat that has some flaws.<\/p>\n GR = Games in Relief AL Average: 71.1% NL Average: 69.2% MLB Average: 70.2%<\/p>\nScoreless Outing Team Statistics<\/h3>\n
Explanations<\/h4>\n
\nScOtg = Scoreless Outing, a GR where the pitcher has no runs charged to him (earned or unearned).
\nIOtg = I stands for Inherited Run and indicates a ScOtg where he allowed inherited runs to score.
\nUOtg = U is Unearned Run. It does not count as a ScOtg, but it notes that the run wasn\u2019t entirely the reliever’s fault.
\nScOtg% = ScOtg divided by GR, rounded to the nearest tenth of a percentage point.<\/p>\nLeaders and Tables<\/h4>\n
