The 2019 season
2019, when bullpens took over: more relievers, shorter starts, strikeouts at a record pace. The same real players as every 2019 league here, dealt into different teams, so the races go their own way.
Major-league hitters set the all-time record for home runs in 2019, and strikeouts rose to a record for yet another year. Bullpens did more of the work than ever, and a few clubs began starting games with a reliever, the “opener”. Every player here is rated from that season’s play-by-play.
Player ratings come from Retrosheet play-by-play. Clubs are shown by the game’s own team names; see credits.
