All pre-sim seasons, simmed seasons where the player had at least 1/3 innings pitched, and minor league seasons are listed. The Team and Lg listed is the team and league the player played for at the end of the season. The OOTP database does not provide a way to track a player's stats when that player plays for more than 1 team in any one year. The only way to get this information would be to track a player's stats from the boxscores, game-by-game. This is obviously too time consuming to do. So, the statistical anomalies this creates will just have to be ignored.

Here is a breakdown of the above stats:

Stat Description
Year The year the season occured
Age Player's age on July 1st of that year
Tm The last team the player played on that year
Lg The league the team is in
W Wins
L Losses
Pct Win/Loss Pct = W / (W + L)
G Number of games the player pitched in
GS Games Started
CG Complete Games
SHO Shutouts
SV Saves
IP Innings Pitched
H Hits allowed
ER Earned Runs
HR Homeruns allowed
BB Walks
SO Strikeouts
ERA Earned Run Average = (9*ER) / IP
OAVG Opponents' Batting Average = H / AB
OOBP Opponents' On Base Percentage = (H + BB + HBP) / (AB + BB + SF + HBP)
OSLG Opponents' Slugging Percentage = (1B + 2*2B + 3*3B + 4*HR) / AB
OOPS Opponents' On Base Plus Slugging = OOBP + OSLG
The following is added on the team recap pages:
PWS Pitching Win Shares. From the Bill James book, Win Shares.

Next is the career totals lines. The first line will be the totals from all the simmed seasons. Next, if the player has pre-sim stats, this will show the totals from all pre-sim and simmed years. Finally, totals of stats from each level of minors, if any, are shown, along with a total minor league stats line, if the player played at more than one level in the minor leagues.

The next line is the players's season average.

The last line lists the player's career high in each statistical category. "High" here means most extreme, i.e., lowest ERA, OAVG, etc. This is not their best season, but the best for each individual stat regardless of which year it occured. For the rate stats (ERA, WPct, OAVG,...) of a particular year to qualify, the player's number of innings pitched that year must be atleast 75% of his career average number of innings pitched. Career highs are only listed for players who played more than one simmed season.
