Young Pitchers

[upinya83]

Does anyone else find that this time of the year it's good to fade young pitching, no matter how good they've done up to this point?

Starting to get into days of the year that they've never pitched

And inning numbers they've never been close to in minors or college or first year in majors

Anyone else use this stategy?

Not that simple. Innings and workload matter. Lots of examples of young pitchers making an impact well into October for teams that didn't abuse their arms.

2 I expect to keep shining: Gallardo, Kershaw
2 I think will start to sputter: Josh Johnson, Edwin Jackson

would look to fade the guys that are at a career high in innings

You wish Edwin Jackson fades. I would name a starter worth a lick on the Tribe but you traded them all away for 3 dozen baseballs. See ya in October Dom!

To stay on topic though Ive noticed starting rookie/young pitchers on the road is suicide but again thats just a guess and nothing I have backed with numbers/stats.
