    Honor system. No cheating please.

    One free Intybuck each to the first person to correctly answer these questions:

    What pitcher is responsible for the strikeout that had the greatest impact on Championship Win Probability Added (cWPA)?

    And again, no cheating ...

    Who is the only player to be struck out twice in the top ten strikeouts in history in terms of cWPA?

    Can you actually please add the Draft years to the Roster. Helps for trades, knowing if we need change years when we grab guys... (if you're waiting until the season starts and years are locked, that's cool!)

    Thanks!

    This. I don't want to have to track lots of year changes on a whim. They'll be there by spring training.

    Here are some clues.

    The pitcher was both on a FODEUSS roster for at least part of last season and on a real-life big league roster last season.

    The batter has never been drafted in this game, and both of his strikeouts were against the same pitcher who has been on a roster for every single iteration of this game.

    Bryan Shaw vs. Javier Baez, top of the 9th 2016? Might be a bit of a trick Q b/c it's what increased cWPA even if a "c" wasn't the final result.

    But now want to know basketball cWPA on some plays that year...
