How win probability is simulated
- Win probability comes from resampling every batted ball thousands of times — using launch angle, exit velocity, and ballpark factors.
- It's the simulator's view of who "deserved" to win, regardless of the actual scoreboard.

How to read this chart
- Every pitch is scored against the league: throwing a strike (or getting a whiff or weak contact) beats the average outcome from that count; balls and hard contact fall short of it.
- “Saved” means fewer expected bases than an average pitcher facing the same counts; “cost” means more. Contact is judged by estimated bases, not luck.
- This grades every pitch against an average pitcher. The “Bases above replacement” board higher up compares the whole outing to a freely available fill-in arm instead, so its totals read a few bases friendlier — same outing, different question.
