During a league does fatigue carry over the season or can your relieve as many innings as possible?

Generally, a RP needs to rest 2 days before he takes the mound again. At least that was the rule before Fatigue Level settings were introduced (see below from the Game Rules.) I assume it's still the case.

If you're asking if there is an innings limit for RP's....No. A RP can double, triple..... their IP's in our game compared to the IP's they achieved in the real baseball season.

The pitcher's fatigue level can be from F0 to F9. F9 means that he is operating on all cylinders, whereas F0 indicates that he has nothing left in the tank. Normally pitchers start their appearance as F9 and maintain that level until they approach or exceed their Suggested Pitch Count. The pitcher's performance will drop as his fatigue level drops from F9 to F0.

I was wondering because I had someone with Shelby Miller and it seemed like he was going to have 100 appearances and each appearance seemed to be over an inning. LOL

I’m still trying to learn the tricks to improve over a.500 manager.

Thank you

Funny you should mention Shelby Miller - he's a real stud in the 2023 set. In some leagues he gets upwards of 190 innings! Here are his /average/ historical stats in standard 2023 seasons that have run so far:

Miller, Shelby Games: 61 IP: 151 ERA: 2.93 WHIP: 1.12 Sal$M $5.59M

Why so many innings? He's an R2 reliever and he's a good pitcher so 3-4 innings is not unusual. He doesn't do much more than 120 innings for me, but I don't try to squeeze max innings from him.

I think that's true when the reliever goes 3-4 innings. If he goes no more than 1 inning he can go 3-4 games straight.
