Run support

Run support

Run support is a baseball statistic used to assess a starting pitcher's good fortune. It measures how many runs were scored by his team on average when he starts. It is considered a somewhat important statistic because a team (and its pitcher) earn wins by holding its opponents to fewer runs than it scores. Since a pitcher's skill is a large factor in how many runs the opponent scores and a small factor in how many runs his team scores this is a measure of whether the pitcher happened to pitch on days when his team scored a lot. There are two different measures of run support. These statistics may be adjusted for park and league factors.cite web|url=http://www.sabr.org/sabr.cfm?a=cms,c,821,34,0|title=Run Support Index|publisher=Society For American Baseball Research|date=2004-07-06]
