Serious response: wasn't there actually less randomness pre-1920/pre-1900, when there were more balls in play & pitchers threw more innings, so there was a larger sample for each pitcher's season?https://twitter.com/VorosM/status/1388593930439065600 …

I think one way it was less random for individual pitchers was that in a single season, the sheer number of balls in play was WAY higher than modern ball, thereby reducing some randomness via larger samples.

Yeah, that was my point - less luck as opposed to other factors.
