Every row is a share of the same 23 batters faced, so the lengths are directly comparable. Other outs are derived — batters faced less hits, walks and strikeouts — and a batter who reached on an error is counted among them. The mark on each row is what a regular does — 256 pitchers with at least 200 batters faced this season, pooled.

ERA and WHIP share one scale but measure different things — compare each line with itself across seasons; the vertical gap between the two is not a performance margin.

Raw season totals, not per-game rates. Playing time and season length affect every bar, so a shorter bar does not necessarily mean worse rate performance.

Every row is a share of the same 113 plate appearances, so the lengths are directly comparable. 3 appearances get their own band rather than joining the outs, because this page carries no hit-by-pitch or sacrifice figure and a hit-by-pitch reaches base. Singles and other outs are derived from the season line rather than reported.

Each bar is the RELATIVE gap between the two hands on that row — the widest gap in this card fills the track and every other bar is scaled against it. It is a gap, not a quality rating, and it is never normalized against another card or a league average. Plate appearances are context, so neither side leads that row. The thinner hand here is only 45 plate appearances, which says very little.

All four rate stats share one scale. OPS is OBP plus SLG, so it naturally sits above its components; the exact values are in the season table.
