The Cleveland club's management made as great a mistake in 1894 as that
of the Philadelphia club in experimenting with too many pitchers. They
tried but six pitchers in 1892, when they won the championship of the
second half of the divided season of that year, and in 1893 put eight in
the box. But last year they engaged no less than thirteen pitchers to
experiment with, and from third place in 1893 with eight pitchers, they
ended in sixth position in 1894 with thirteen. Of those who pitched in
over 20 games, Cuppy led with the percentage figures of .568, Young
being second with .543. Of those who pitched in over 10 games and less
than 20, Sullivan led with .600, followed by John Clarkson with .533. Of
those who pitched in less than 10 games, but one reached average figures
in percentage, Menafee pitching in only one game, a victory over
Brooklyn, and Mullane in but 3, of which 2 were victories over St. Louis
and Louisville. Cuppy did fine box work against the five Western clubs
opposed to him, but he was excelled by Young against the Eastern
batsmen. Five of the thirteen failed to pitch in a single victory.
Here is the record in full:
