NoHittingLeague

OOTP sim that morphs the best pitching staff w/the worst hitting team for each 1968 franchise. I’m playing STL. Project of @baseball_more

Introduction: I like low-scoring, well-pitches games. So, what would happen if you took the best pitching staff of a franchise (looking at ERA+ & WAR) & combined it with the worst hitting team of that franchise (looking at OPS+ & WAR)?

@BallparkTeddy I wasn't worried about collecting a complete set back then, but I sure would enjoy the challenge of eating my way to that set.

@nut_history In fairness, the average exit velocity was probably around 68.5 mph.

@apba1957 The days when a reliever would throw 2+ innings in a close game......

Sandberg 1 HR in the next 5 games to have a 30/50 season.
