There are also some factors that are difficult to measure that don’t have a place in this analysis, but I’ll throw them out for comment. The light career IP totals. If teams voice concern over young Ps season inning limits, or SPs with accumulating 200 IP season, or RPs with 60 GP for 4-5 years, the reverse concept must also apply- Guerra has a lot of innings left.
Then there’s the advantage of being a former C. In his vast experience around the world he’s seen and discussed all the pitches, from all angles. Mentally, he knows how to pitch, a trait that ages well. If he wants to rest his arm from the strain of a splitter after a couple months he just replaces it with a 2-seam sinker. He probably throws a mean cutter as well.
As a C and hitter he knows what it means to make adjustments, and tweak new pitches. Like a pitching coach, he has discussed the mechanics of all aspects of pitching for years and can self-correct and re-invent himself. And now for the next Juni article [to read]
