I was looking at Baseball Almanac last night and I happen to see this under statistic formulas.
I think thats amazing to see. Does anyone know where I can get the record for highest game score? I tried googling it but nothing good came up.
An advanced pitching statistic developed by Bill James used to measure how dominant a pitcher performed in each game he pitched. Often referred to as "Ryanicity" since Nolan Ryan and his multiple no-hitters were amongst the best Game Scores ever recorded until Kerry Wood threw his twenty strikeout game in 1998. The strikeouts in that game combined with the lack of hits (1) made it better than a perfect game as the statistics rewards dominance (strikes) and lack of hits while penalizing for walks.
