Saves - Most for a Single Starter

Last night, as I watched Jose Valverde come in and save yet another victory for Justin Verlander, it got me thinking.

• Of Valverde's saves this season, how many were Verlander victories?
• How does this compare to the highest percentages all-time?

One visit to Baseball-Reference and a few lines of code later and I had my answer.

Valverde 2011:

• Total saves: 33
• Saves of Verlander victories: 10
• Percentage: 30.3%
• Ranking All-Time: 57th

Highest percentage of reliever's saves for a single winning pitcher (1918-2010, minimum 20 total saves):

Relief Pitcher	Total Saves	Winning Pitcher	Saves	Pct.	Team
Mike Henneman	21	Bill Gullickson	10	47.6%	1991 Detroit Tigers 84-78 (.519)
Luis Arroyo	29	Whitey Ford	13	44.8%	1961 New York Yankees 109-53-1 (.673)
Sparky Lyle	23	Dock Ellis	10	43.5%	1976 New York Yankees 97-62 (.610)
B.J. Ryan	32	A.J. Burnett	13	40.6%	2008 Toronto Blue Jays 86-76 (.531)
Roy Face	20	Bob Friend	8	40%	1958 Pittsburgh Pirates 84-70 (.545)
Dennis Eckersley	48	Bob Welch	19	39.6%	1990 Oakland Athletics 103-59 (.636)
Rollie Fingers	23	Don Sutton	9	39.1%	1984 Milwaukee Brewers 67-94 (.416)
Phil Regan	21	Claude Osteen	8	38.1%	1966 Los Angeles Dodgers 95-67 (.586)
Don Stanhouse	24	Jim Palmer	9	37.5%	1978 Baltimore Orioles 90-71 (.559)
Joe Page	27	Allie Reynolds	10	37%	1949 New York Yankees 97-57-1 (.630)

Because the list has too many 20-save pitchers for my liking, here are lists with minimums of 30 and 40 saves:

Relief Pitcher	Total Saves	Winning Pitcher	Saves	Pct.	Team
B.J. Ryan	32	A.J. Burnett	13	40.6%	2008 Toronto Blue Jays 86-76 (.531)
Dennis Eckersley	48	Bob Welch	19	39.6%	1990 Oakland Athletics 103-59 (.636)

Dennis Eckersley	33	Dave Stewart	11	33.3%	1989 Oakland Athletics 99-63 (.611)
Leo Nunez	30	Ricky Nolasco	10	33.3%	2010 Florida Marlins 80-82 (.494)
John Franco	30	Frank Viola	10	33.3%	1991 New York Mets 77-84 (.478)
Fernando Rodney	37	Justin Verlander	12	32.4%	2009 Detroit Tigers 86-77 (.528)

Strong Starts

Last week, I had my first article posted over at The Hardball Times.  The article was about which pitchers had the best seasons of starting games with no-hitters and how Justin Verlander's current season compares historically (hint: he's doing alright).  If you're interested, you can find the article over at The Hardball Times.

In the article, I only include the top 10 seasons, but if you're interested in viewing the entire list, you can access the spreadsheet of all pitcher seasons of at least 10 starts by clicking here.  Since it's not editable, in order to filter by pitcher, sort, etc you'll need to click "View->List" after clicking on link.

I found looking at the data pretty interesting... let me know if you find any interesting tidbits of your own.

Overview - 8/2/2011

Since a blog format makes it inherently difficult to see what all is available, here is a brief overview of the things I've done so far.  You can also find an overview of the specific studies by clicking on the "Pitching Duels" or "Leadboard Score" tabs at the top of the page.

• Pitching Duels: In my first four posts, I explored the world of all-time great pitching duels, using a method introduced by Bill James as a starting point.  Here are the links, including spreadsheets of the various methods containing lists of the Top 25 duels of each decade and the Top 100 of all-time.  You can also skip to the Top 10, 1990-2010 and Top 10, 1918-2010:
  
  1. Introducing Bill James' method and generating lists based on all regular season games from 1918-2010
  • Blog Post
  • Lists in Spreadsheet Form
  2. Improving Bill James' method by introducing adjustments for the starting pitchers' careers and the quality of teams involved:
  • Blog Post
  • Lists in Spreadsheet Form
  3. Improving the method still further by introducing adjustments for complete games, no-hitters and perfect games.
  • Blog Post
  • Lists in Spreadsheet Form
  • Lists of No-Hitters Only in Spreadsheet Form
  4. Using the same method to analyze the greatest postseason matchups of all-time.
  • Blog Post
  • Lists in Spreadsheet Form
• Pitching Rivalries: By calculating the pitching duel score for all of the matchups between two pitchers, a list of pitching rivalries was generated with those pairs of pitchers that had the greatest collection of duels in their careers.
• Blog Post
• Lists in Spreadsheet Form
• Leaderboard Score: A method devised to come up with lists of the greatest players in every major statistical category.  The links page will be updated as I continue to add more stats. (*Note: I learned of a similar, more complex method after writing this post which you can find here)
• Blog Post
