Can iScore produce average pitches per at bat by game and season total ?

Thank you,

If you have the team website option, you can use the API.

Specifically this link:

Each PitchID record lists the specific details about each pitch. I use this to calculate several things, but mostly, as you were looking for, to calculate exactly how many innings a pitcher pitched. I don't use the traditional "5 2/3" innings because I have always thought that was useless and vague. 2/3's of an inning might be 6 pitches and 2 batters or it might be 40 pitches and 10 batters. I calculate innings pitched by number of pitches pitched / number of pitches in an inning. It looks wierd to see something like 4.456 innings pitched, but it is more accurate.

I didn't ask the question with enough detail. Sorry for that. I am looking to compare player by player the number of pitches they are looking at for each AT BAT. For instance if Joe has 3 AB's and 15 pitches his average pitches per at bat is 5. Bob, has 3 at bats and 9 total pitches. His average pitchs per at bat is 3. Can I get this from iScore?

Yes, these statistics are available. Here is the legend for the stats available:

If you look in the Batting Quality section, you will see there are many statistics available for things like P5, P6, P7, P8... which are the number of at bats with 5+, 6+, 7+, 8+ etc pitches per at bat.

These numbers are probably more telling than the specific question you asked.

Using your example of 3 ABs and 15 pitches, yes, the average would be 5, but the reality is he may have had 2 x 1 pitch AB, and 1 x 13 pitch. That would not be the same as someone that truly gets a P5 in most of his at bats.
