Suggestion

Add Left on Base Percentage (LOB%) and Home Runs Per Flyball (HR/FB) to the set of statistics that OOTP tracks for pitchers.

Reason

LOB% and HR/FB are two other major ways (along with BABIP) that pitchers can be evaluated for "luck". Pitchers who are stranding far more runners than the league average, or not giving up very many home runs despite constantly having balls driven to the outfield, can be determined to be "getting lucky", and therefore likely to regress in the near future. These statistics would allow users to make more detailed and realistic roster management decisions.

Priority

Medium.
