So the O's are 10th in Total WAR... care to guess which pitcher that made his debut for the O's in the last five years has the highest career WAR?

[spoiler=Secret Info]Koji Uehara with 4.4

Orioles have the most innings thrown for their developed pitchers in the last 5 years.

Interesting that LAD have the most WAR but just 2 playoffs to show for it in the last 5 years and no playoffs for 3 straight years.

And the pitcher who has the most WAR for us in that span wasn't even really a homegrown pitcher.

After looking:

Ah, i see. I guess the point is that it's not someone from our farm system, heh. Hopefully that changes in the era of Bundy/Gausman.

I thought the whole thing was worth putting out there but yes I was making a particular point as well.

That's a cool feature. I didn't know you could hide information in a post like that.

It was added a while ago, I had to do a search to find the format.

The season he had as the worst historical starting pitcher kinda flummoxed that up for him.

I'll be very interested in what these rankings look like 3 years from now. I'm surprised the Orioles are as high as they are, to be honest....

Quantity over quality. Also two of the guys are international not farm.

If you take out Uehara and Chen, we're 15th instead of 10th. Of course you'd have to take out other pitchers from similar situations for other clubs, but that's to give you a rough estimate.
