So if Yusniel Diaz never gets another shot at the majors, which might happen based on the trajectory of his career, he will be in baseballreference.com with 1 major league at bat.

I realize there are guys like Moonlight Graham with 0, but I am wondering how many guys thare are with just 1 MLB AB in there are.

I'm giving it a try.   Starting at 5:05 pm.   Honor system, no Google.  I did see a post in the thread where someone said "I forgot Diaz" and I honestly don't even know who Diaz is so I get that one as a freebie.   Oh, wait, Yusniel, he did come up really briefly.   

Here I go:

  1. Diaz
  2. Bemboom
  3. Chirinos
  4. Rutschman
  5. Mountcastle
  6. Mancini
  7. Aguilar
  8. Odor
  9. Vavra
  10. Urias
  11. Mateo
  12. Henderson
  13. Gutierrez
  14. Hays
  15. Mullins
  16. Santander
  17. McKenna
  18. Stowers
  19. Nevin
  20. Arauz
  21. Bannon
  22. Phillips
  23. Richie Martin
  24. Means
  25. Lyles
  26. Kremer
  27. Bradish
  28. Voth
  29. Watkins
  30. Lopez
  31. Tate
  32. Akin
  33. Perez
  34. Bautista
  35. Baker
  36. Krehbiel
  37. DL Hall
  38. Vespi
  39. Cano boy did he suck
  40. Wells, Tyler
  41. Baumann
  42. Lakins Sr
  43. Beau Sulser
  44. Wells, Alexander (he was up early this year, wasn't he?)
  45. Reed

OK, that's 12 minutes and I'm going to give up.   It's making my head hurt.  I have a feeling I am missing a lot of bad pitchers.

Bro, there’s a link in the OP that tracks all of this for you.

43/58. I somehow forgot about Kyle Stowers. In fairness, so did Brandon Hyde a lot of the time.

And I thought it was spelled Kriehbel, so I didn't get him.

Biggest surprise for me was that McKenna ended playing in more games than Mancini. I guess all those times he pinch ran add up.

51/58

Travis Lakins Sr 

Marcos Diplan 

Denyi Reyes

Alex Wells

Logan Allen

Chris Ellis 

Cody Sedlock

 

I got hung up on Spenser Watkins for some reason. Kept thinking he had a C, not an S. I remember the Aussie LHP Wells, could not remember his first name. Chris Owings came to me just before the end, along with Rico Garcia and Louis Head. Thanks, those are always fun.

This got me curious how many players other teams used.   The playoff teams:

NYY 54

TOR 51

TBR 61

ClE 50

HOU 45

SEA 59

Great Orioles teams of the past:

1966 34

1969 30

1970 32

1971 31

1973 33

1974 32

1979 34

1983 37

1996 45

1997 39

2012 52

2014 44

2016 47

The most the O’s have used is 62, in 2021.

Honestly, this is one aspect of changes in the game that I don’t really like.

    • Just to be clear, though, fWAR also includes a substantial adjustment for position, including a negative one for Cowser.  For a clearer example on that front, as the chart posted higher on this page indicates, Carlos Santana had a +14 OAA — which is the source data that fWAR’s defensive component is based on. That 14 outs above average equates to 11-12 (they use different values on this for some reason) runs better than the average 1B.  So does Santana have a 12.0 defensive value, per fWAR? He does not. That’s because they adjust his defensive value downward to reflect that he’s playing a less difficult/valuable position. In this case, that adjustment comes out to -11.0 runs, as you can see here:   So despite apparently having a bona fide Gold Glove season, Santana’s Fielding Runs value (FanGraphs’ equivalent to dWAR) is barely above average, at 1.1 runs.    Any good WAR calculation is going to adjust for position. Being a good 1B just isn’t worth as much as being an average SS or catcher. Just as being a good LF isn’t worth as much as being an average CF. Every outfielder can play LF — only the best outfielders can play CF.  Where the nuance/context shows up here is with Cowser’s unique situation. Playing LF in OPACY, with all that ground to cover, is not the same as playing LF at Fenway or Yankee Stadium. Treating Cowser’s “position” as equivalent to Tyler O’Neill’s, for example, is not fair. The degree of difficulty is much, much higher at OPACY’s LF, and so the adjustment seems out of whack for him. That’s the one place where I’d say the bWAR value is “unfair” to Cowser.
    • Wait a second here, the reason he's -0.1 in bb-ref dwar is because they're using drs to track his defensive run value.  He's worth 6.6 runs in defense according to fangraphs, which includes adjustments for position, which would give him a fangraphs defensive war of +0.7.
    • A little funny to have provided descriptions of the hits (“weak” single; “500 foot” HR). FIP doesn’t care about any of that either, so it’s kind of an odd thing to add in an effort to make ERA look bad.  Come in, strike out the first hitter, then give up three 108 MPH rocket doubles off the wall. FIP thinks you were absolutely outstanding, and it’s a shame your pathetic defense and/or sheer bad luck let you down. Next time you’ll (probably) get the outcomes you deserve. They’re both flawed. So is xFIP. So is SIERA. So is RA/9. So is WPA. So is xERA. None of them are perfect measures of how a pitcher’s actual performance was, because there’s way too much context and too many variables for any one metric to really encompass.  But when I’m thinking about awards, for me at least, it ends up having to be about the actual outcomes. I don’t really care what a hitter’s xWOBA is when I’m thinking about MVP, and the same is true for pitchers. Did you get the outs? Did the runs score? That’s the “value” that translates to the scoreboard and, ultimately, to the standings. So I think the B-R side of it is more sensible for awards.  I definitely take into account the types of factors that you (and other pitching fWAR advocates) reference as flaws. So if a guy plays in front of a particular bad defense or had a particularly high percentage of inherited runners score, I’d absolutely adjust my take to incorporate that info. And I also 100% go to Fangraphs first when I’m trying to figure out which pitchers we should acquire (i.e., for forward looking purposes).  But I just can’t bring myself say that my Cy Young is just whichever guy had the best ratio of Ks to BBs to HRs over a threshold number of innings. As @Frobby said, it just distills out too much of what actually happened.
    • We were all a lot younger in 2005.  No one wanted to believe Canseco cause he’s a smarmy guy. Like I said, he was the only one telling the truth. It wasn’t a leap of faith to see McGwire up there and Sosa up there and think “yeah, those guys were juicing” but then suddenly look at Raffy and think he was completely innocent.  It’s a sad story. The guy should be in Hall of Fame yet 500 homers and 3,000 hits are gone like a fart in the wind cause his legacy is wagging his finger and thinking he couldn’t get caught.  Don’t fly too close to the sun.  
    • I think if we get the fun sprinkler loving Gunnar that was in the dugout yesterday, I don’t think we have to worry about him pressing. He seemed loose and feeling good with the other guys he was with, like Kremer.
    • I was a lot younger back then, but that betrayal hit really hard because he had been painting himself as literally holier than thou, and shook his finger to a congressional committee and then barely 2 weeks later failed the test.
    • Not bad, but Mullins needs to be at Centerfield for his range, glove, and defensive ability. Top teir premium defense cannot be underestimated. Kjerstad will be on the bench. I think the question is whether Slater or Cowser plays. I would prefer Ramirez over Slater if they need another right handed bat. Sig needs to look at Adleys recent sample sizes vs LHP before making him DH. McCann is catching for Burnes and hitting the left handed pitcher. He's also on a hot streak.
