Pitchers With Round-Number Stats

Did you know that Tom Glavine

finished his career with exactly 1500 walks and 1900 runs allowed? Below, I list some other pitchers who finished with major stats that ended in round numbers.

ERA

Let’s start out with that hallmark of pitching statistics, ERA. Listed below are the players with the most innings pitched for each ERA equal to a whole number between 0 and 10.

• 0.00 ERA: John Dagenhard

• 1.00 ERA: (tie) Colonel Snover
  The best solution payday loans
  , Babe Doty
  The best solution payday loans
  , and Harry Raymond
  The best solution payday loans
  , 9 IP each
• 2.00 ERA: Laurie Reis

  , 72 IP
• 3.00 ERA: Minnie Rojas
  The best solution payday loans
  , 261 IP (honorable mention: Rube Kisinger
  The best solution payday loans
  , 162 IP)
• 4.00 ERA: Keiichi Yabu
  The best solution payday loans
  , 126 IP (honorable mention: Ron Cook
  The best solution payday loans
  , 108 IP)
• 5.00 ERA: Dick Cogan
  The best solution payday loans
  , 54 IP
• 6.00 ERA: Paul Brown
  The best solution payday loans
  , 93 IP
• 7.00 ERA: Brad Cornett
  The best solution payday loans
  , 36 IP
• 8.00 ERA: Duke Simpson
  The best solution payday loans
  , 45 IP
• 9.00 ERA: Jose Segura
  The best solution payday loans
  , 31 IP
• 10.00 ERA: Al Krumm
  The best solution payday loans
  , 9 IP

To finish with a whole-number ERA, a player often had to have an exact multiple of 9 for his innings pitched. The exceptions are ERAs of 3.00 and 6.00, which just need a multiple of 3 IP, an ERA of 9.00, which needs a whole number IP, and of course the 0.00 ERA, which can be done with any IP total.

Earned Runs Allowed

Next up, pitchers who allowed a multiple of 100 earned runs in their careers, starting with 400. If a number isn’t listed, there were no pitchers to end with that number of ER allowed (also, * = active).

• 400 ER: Harry Harper

faced 10,001 batters and Thornton Lee faced 9,999.

Homers Allowed

This one’s different, since the highest totals are relatively low. Only one player had an even multiple above 100.

Chuck Smith

(200 H, 100 R) and Hap Collard (200 H, 100 ER) both had multiple round-number stats that were too small for the lists above. They join Glavine and Harper in the Multiple Round Numbers Hall of Fame. There may be some others that I missed, as well.
