Advanced Scoring System Notes:
-
Positional Adjustments: Defensive positions have slightly different scoring weights:
- Catchers receive a 20% bonus on fielding points
- Middle infielders (2B/SS) receive a 10% bonus on fielding points
- Designated Hitters have a 5% penalty on batting points to account for defensive value
-
Ballpark Factors: Players in extreme hitter or pitcher parks have slight scoring adjustments to normalize production
-
Starting Pitcher Rules:
- Minimum 5 innings pitched to qualify for win points unless game is shortened
- Combined no-hitters award partial points to all pitchers involved
-
Relief Pitcher Special Rules:
- Pitchers entering with inherited runners receive bonus points if they strand them
- “Clean” innings (0 hits, 0 walks) earn a 0.5 point bonus
This scoring system is designed to balance the real-world value of baseball actions with fantasy scoring and to reward exceptional performances while penalizing negative outcomes proportionally.
