Are there penalties imposed for "Usage%" or other categories in WIS baseball or football?
I’m not as familiar with the football side, but on the baseball side there is one such and that is for pitchers. It’s known as “appearance fatigue” and is roughly set such that a pitcher cannot appear in more than 70% of team games before experiencing fatigue. It’s actually based on pitches relative to % of assigned total pitches (similar to PA for hitters, and to a pitchers regular fatigue, commonly called “usage fatigue” which is entirely based on pitches relative to the assigned total pitches similar to how PA work in the example above), however in appearance fatigue, there is an additional weight factor on number of teams games projected to appear in that is calculated separately. Additionally, pitchers have a third type of fatigue known as “in-game fatigue” which is based on pitches relative to their total assigned pitches per game.
There are many links to each of these in the forum that dive much deeper into them if you search by those names they are commonly known as.
