Sharp eyed gamers will have noticed that the 1972 American and National League teams and the 1977 National League teams each had both team-summarized pitcher's batting cards as well as individually carded pitcher's batting cards on excel-type sheets.  I did not put those pitcher's batting cards onto regular cards because it would take a lot more sheets to print a full season, and it is a lot of extra work to get each detail right on those player card variants. Personally, I prefer the team approach to having peripheral relievers with 30 percent of their hit results as triples or home runs, which you will see occasionally in a big season. But I can see why some gamers might want to have a good hitting pitcher individually carded as a good hitter, especially for starters; it does impact how long they might stay in a game.  Part of me thinks the ideal carding strategy would be to bucket the pitchers into low average, medium average and high average hitters that are carded with and without power, and to create six or eight cards that would apply to a season.  I've been thinking about this strategy, and I might just try it later as a compromise.

If I do create these cards, I will also have to do what I have done here, which is play catch up with past seasons.  Above are the links for the 1968 American League and National League, and the 1981 National League.  Teams from the 1981 American League will have to be played using the single 1981 AL pitcher's batting card, since these pitchers did not bat except in the post season. 

Note also regular unadjusted versions, and normalized versions.  These should open as pdf, where you can save and print them.


Enjoy!
