9.A. Overuse Penalty Adjustments
1. For the First Round of the Rookie Draft, overuse penalties will be applied as follows: a) For each FIVE (5) plate appearances of overuse per non-bonus batter, a team will have one (1) game added to his team’s final victory total. b) For EACH non-bonus pitcher start overuse, a team will have two (2) games added to his team’s final victory total. c) For EACH non-bonus pitcher relief appearance overuse, a team will have one (1) game added to his team’s final victory total. d) For any bonus player or pitcher overuse, the penalty will be calculated at 50% of the above rate. e) Adjusted wins will then determine the top four lottery teams (provided they were not in the lottery the previous season.)
