Game Score
Encyclopedia
Game Score is a metric devised by Bill James
to determine the strength of a pitcher in any particular baseball
game.
To determine a starting pitcher
's game score:
or passed balls
on third strikes. If this were to happen such that no one scored, and the pitcher recorded all outs by strike out, a pitcher could theoretically record four strike outs per inning, and thus 36 for the game, netting him 36 points in addition to the 87 he would have received as described above, for a total of 123.
against the Houston Astros
on May 6, 1998. His game score was 105 (50 + 27 + 10 + 20 – 2).
Higher scores have been accomplished in extra-inning games. Harvey Haddix
scored a 107 for the game in which he took a perfect game
into the 13th inning. Juan Marichal
and Warren Spahn
scored 112 and 97, respectively, during a complete game 16-inning match up. In their famous 26-inning duel from 1920, Joe Oeschger
scored 149 and Leon Cadore
scored 141.
The lowest game score in baseball history was Allan Travers
' 26-hit, 24-run start for the Detroit Tigers
on May 18, 1912. His game score was a negative: -52. This performance only came about because the regular Tiger players staged a strike in protest of Ty Cobb
's suspension. To avoid a forfeit, local college players (including Travers) were enlisted as impromptu fill-ins. The lowest game score since 1957 was Oakland pitcher Mike Oquist
's, who allowed 16 hits and 14 earned runs in 5 innings on August 3, 1998, for a negative score: -21.
The game score concept expands on Major League Baseball's official definition of a quality start. MLB defines a quality start as 6 or more innings pitched while allowing 3 or fewer earned runs. The game score system defines a quality start as a game score above 50.
The advantage that the system has over the official definition is that it allows a statistician a better view of the degree of quality in a pitcher's performance. Game scores can be quantified, and a pitcher's performance tracked over time. It is also possible to compare different pitchers. If one averages a 60 and another averages 55, presumably the first pitcher has had a better season.
It is also possible to have a quality start under the game score system that would not qualify officially.
It must be noted that in terms of high scores, the system favors current pitchers. It is difficult to achieve a very high score in a game without amassing a substantial number of strikeouts. In earlier eras, even for the very best pitchers, strikeouts were less plentiful. For instance, Cy Young
's two no-hitters earned scores of just 90 and 88 due to their low strikeout totals (3 and 2, respectively).

(Randy Johnson also had a −5 score in 1994. David Wells had two negative scores: -14 in 1992, and −5 in 1997. Roy Halliday had a -7 in 1999. Kevin Brown had a −4 in 1994. Curt Schilling had a −1 in 1993. Jaime Garcia had a -6 in 2011)

Maximum Score
The highest possible game score in a nine-inning game while allowing no baserunners is 114, possible only if a pitcher goes 9 innings while striking out every batter he faces and facing three batters per inning. The pitcher receives 50 to begin with, and loses no points because there are no hits, walks, or runs of any kind. He receives 27 points for the 27 outs, and 10 points for five innings completed after the 4th, for a total of 87. In this "perfect score" scenario, the pitcher would have to strike out every hitter he faced, netting him an additional 27 points, for a grand total of 114. The maximum possible score actually involves an unlikely scenario in which one base runner reaches base each inning on wild pitchesWild pitch
