Run Support RSUP

RSUP stands for run support in baseball. Runs a starter’s own team scored for him while he was in the game.

How RSUP is calculated

Team runs scored during the pitcher’s innings, totalled over the season.

It is the reason win-loss records say so little: two pitchers with the same ERA can finish 18-4 and 9-13 on nothing but this.

What counts as a good RSUP?
