Would it be a pitching or hitting stat? Depending on which, it could upset the balance of power between hitting/pitching.
How about we have a 13th category, but the 13th category changes every year? It rotates back and forth from offense to pitching? For example, one year it could be Quality Starts, the next year it could be OPS. Or whatever.
Here's the list of stat cats we can choose from. Maybe there is one that doesn upset the balance too much.
Batters
Games Played Games Started At Bats Runs Hits Singles Doubles Triples Home Runs Runs Batted In Sacrifice Hits Sacrifice Flys Stolen Bases Caught Stealing Walks Intentional Walks Hit By Pitch Strikeouts Ground Into Double Play Total Bases Putouts Assists Errors Fielding Percentage Batting Average On-base Percentage Slugging Percentage On-base + Slugging Percentage Extra Base Hits Net Stolen Bases Stolen Base Percentage Hitting for the Cycle Plate Appearances Grand Slam Home Runs Outfield Assists Double Plays Turned Catcher Interference
Pitchers
Pitching Appearances Games Started Innings Pitched Wins Losses Complete Games Shutouts Saves Outs Hits Total Batters Faced Runs Earned Runs Home Runs Walks Intentional Walks Hit Batters Strikeouts Wild Pitches Balks Stolen Bases Allowed Batters Grounded Into Double Plays Save Chances Holds Total Bases Allowed Earned Run Average (Walks + Hits)/ Innings Pitched Strikeouts per Walk Ratio Strikeouts per Nine Innings Pitch Count Singles Allowed Doubles Allowed Triples Allowed Relief Wins Relief Losses Pickoffs Relief Appearances On-base Percentage Against Winning Percentage Hits Per Nine Innings Walks Per Nine Innings No Hitters Perfect Games Save Percentage Inherited Runners Scored Quality Starts Blown Saves Net Saves
my opinion would be to add a defensive stat, something thats important in real life baseball thats not accounted for in fantasy. fielding percentage would accomplish that and its something that you wouldnt necessarily chase after.....like the counting stats. imho.

I like the system we have. But if we are to change it, I would prefer to rotate the stat from year to year. One year, offensive strikeouts. The other year, runs allowed.
