Converting Starting Pitchers to Relievers
In my franchise, let's say I want to convert a failed starter into a reliever, do I need to make any changes ratings wise? For example, do I need to add points to his velocity, and take points away from his stamina? Does anybody have a formula? Thanks.Tags: None -
Re: Converting Starting Pitchers to Relievers
Not a formula, but I typically drop their Stamina into the 40s and add 2-3 mph to each pitch. I'll also raise Clutch, K/9, and H/9 about 10 points, and the break of each pitch 8-10 points.
Basically, make their "stuff" better -

When SCEA updates SP to RP in their weekly updates, they usually just drop stamina to the 40s or so.Comment

Re: Converting Starting Pitchers to Relievers
I'm not sure how I feel about messing with /9 stuff when converting a SP to a RP but it makes sense to give a little velocity boost.
As for the stamina, doesn't that really depend on the bullpen role the guy is expected to take on? A swing man and a guy you want in the back of the bullpen would probably need a different adjustment.Chicago Cubs | Chicago Bulls | Green Bay Packers | Michigan WolverinesComment

Re: Converting Starting Pitchers to Relievers
As far as stamina goes, I would do a gradual weekly decrease until I hit the final number I want, usually somewhere between 25 & 40.
If I plan on using him as a long reliever/spot starter, then I might not shave off any stamina (& definitely not more than 15 points, if I do).Talk about things nobody cares.

Re: Converting Starting Pitchers to Relievers
Is that 5 clicks and 10 clicks or 5 mph and 10 mph? 5-10 mph is too much velocity to add. Otherwise, I think that should work.Chicago Cubs | Chicago Bulls | Green Bay Packers | Michigan WolverinesComment
