Taking a slightly different approach to the weekly Minor League Baseball pitching update this Monday: instead of a season-long review, here are the top 10 MiLB single-game outings this season! For this, I used Tom Tango's game score metric, which was conceived in 2014. MLB Gameday box scores use Bill James' game score, but the two are somewhat similar: a score of 50 is average, positive outcomes increase the score, and negative outcomes decrease the score. The exact equation used (and how it differs from James' version) can be found here: https://lnkd.in/gZWkjdfb The Los Angeles Angels and Atlanta Braves systems lead the way, with four of the top five and five of the top 10. The three men with a score of 90 are all top-30 prospects in their systems, according to Major League Baseball (MLB) rankings: Kochanowicz - #9 Angels prospect, #4 pitcher Daniel - #28 Angels prospect, #13 pitcher Murphy - #5 Braves prospect, #5 pitcher The most important thing I learned from this analysis: The Atlanta Braves have a deep crop of pitchers down on the farm.
