You didn't answer my question. Does "based on" mean you changed them or the years aren't consecutive?
Here's another hypothitical for you. Based on real numbers by two different pitchers.
Player A: 3621 IP, 3.42 ERA, 100 ERA+, 4.48 FIP, 1.191 WHIP, .243 OAV, .299 OBP, .390 SLG, .689 OPS
Player B: 3659 IP, 3.23 ERA, 104 ERA+, 3.91 FIP, 1.287 WHIP, .249 OAV, .317 OBP, .410 SLG, .728 OPS
The last four items (OAV, OBP, SLG, OPS) were for hitters against that pitcher.
Who's the better pitcher?
It's a hypothetical based on real stats by two real pitchers.
For the sake of this example, full careers. Including ramp-up at the beginning, decline at the end.
