STARTERS: BPV leaders, July 2013 to June 2014

When looking at the skills of starting pitchers, we often choose half-season or full-year marks for our data samples.

A more effective approach is to analyze a SP's 12-month rolling skills, a method that was recently used in this USA Today article to identify the most productive players by position from July 2013 to June 2014.

Here, let's take a deep look into the skills of starting pitchers over this same 12-month period to identify some extreme skills displayed by SP during the past year.

Just 18 starting pitchers have posted an elite 125+ BPV over the last year:
