I would not want to pick a pitcher without having some additional information. I find it odd that pitcher A had approximately 1 decision per 5 innings pitched, while pitcher B has 1 decision per 10 innings pitched. Almost seems as if pitcher B is used as a relief pitcher. I would want to know the level of competition. Here is an example from my own personal experience in a recent tournament. I realize it is only 1 game worth of data.
Pitcher A - 6 innings. 7 strike outs. 3 walks. Won the game 10-2.
Pitcher B - 6 innings. 2 strike outs. 1 walk. Lost the game 2-1.
Pitcher A pitched against what was probably a C level team and is probably our #3 pitcher overall. Pitcher B pitched against what I would call an A level team and is probably our #1 pitcher. We were actually winning that game, but in the 4th inning a girl reached on an error and the next batter hit a towering home run. She pitched great but made one very bad pitch. Two runs scored. End of story...
