Reliever Order

SpicyTunaFish · July 2018

What is the best order to maximize the strength of my relievers.

Current order:
Long - 5* Brad Hand
RP1 - 4.5* Pablo Sandoval
RP2 - 4.5* Josh Fields
SM - 5* Craig Kimbrel
CL - Prime Aroldis Chapman

I know I can essentially "pick" my pitchers if I manually play each game, but this is more for auto play purposes.

Seems about right.

I typically use STF (stuff) as my ranking order. If 2 pitchers have similar STF and 1 of those pitchers has poor CTL (control), I will knock him down a few pegs. In addition, take a peak at your individual pitcher stats and make notice of which pitcher(s) has thrown the least amount of innings. If you have strong starting pitcher—going deep into the game, your long reliever won’t see much action.

I would also add that pennants should serve as a tie break(they help a pitcher's 'stuff' rating). Righties should also get any tie break because they have the platoon advantage far more often than lefties.

I am not sure how this game utilizes relievers, but I would say:

LR: least effective guy. “Mop up” duty.
RP1: 3rd best guy
RP2: 4th best
SU: 2nd best
CL: most talented, but also reliable. So stuff and control most important I think.

There is nothing worse than having a closer who walks in the tying or winning run.
