In the post WW II era of MLB, starting pitchers threw a lot of complete games and seeing a starter with 40 W-L decisions was not uncommon. In the 60's the relief pitcher began to apper and early relievers like Joe Page, Jim Konstanty, Elroy Face and others became integral parts to a team's winning season.
in the years from 2017 through 2021 (no season in 2020), MLB teams averaged 145 pitches a game and relief pitchers threw 38% of those pitches. How do those stats compare with the 2023 Beavers ?
Through the first 41 games concluding with the GCU game, Oregon State also averaged 145 pitches per game. The Beavers however were far more dependent on their Bullpen with a whopping 52.7% of those pitches being delivered by relievers.
Are the eight Beaver pitchers that have started games this season over worked? Far from it.
