Frequently asked

How is P-Score calculated?+

It combines Results, Run Prevention, Strikeouts & Control, Consistency and Form into a 0–100 index, normalized within the qualified pool. After that, inactivity slightly reduces the published number. Exact weights are proprietary, but the pillar results appear on every pitcher profile.

Who qualifies for this board?+

Starting pitchers with 5 games started and 15 innings. That is the same threshold used to publish a P-Score. There are currently 226 qualified starters.

Who leads in P-Score?+

Jacob Misiorowski at 89. P-Score is our 0–100 season-strength index for qualified starters.

Who leads in ERA?+

Shohei Ohtani at 1.79 across 85.2 innings.

What does Last-5 ERA tell me?+

It is a form indicator from a pitcher's last five starts, not a projection. Treat a large gap between season and last-five ERA as a signal to look at the profile.

How do the trend arrows work?+

Green and red arrows beside a name show rank movement on this board since the last published score snapshot — for example ▲ +6 means six places higher than before. Trending up/down filters use the same rank movement.
