I'm trying to figure out how to query results based on the starting pitcher's previous performance. For example:

Games in which Gerrit Cole is starting, where in Cole's previous start he pitched at least 6 strikeouts

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

How's this?
  • starter='Gerrit Cole' and Starter:max:p:strike outs thrown>6

I checked a couple of the individual game results and it didn't seem to work, unless there's something I'm missing. For example, it returned the game on 9/14/21 for Cole, but his previous start was on 9/7 and he only had 2 strike outs.

To get at the starter's stats in his previous start, use the parameter prefix `s`

Yup, it's still early in the MLB season, and I'm still rusty. This is correct. 
  • starter='Gerrit Cole' and Starter:max:s:strike outs thrown>6
