With Baseball-Reference.com gamelogs now mostly complete back to 1901, I?ve gone back to look at posts published previously, when there were no game level data prior to 1914. This post was originally published in 2016, but in its reprised version, nine new batteries with 200 starts together are identified (there was a lot more matching of catchers to elite pitchers in the early years of the modern era). More on long-term batteries is after the jump.

The analysis looks at games started together, using the Defensive Lineups data available on Baseball-Reference.com for seasons since 1901. The following 35 batteries reach the threshold of 200 games started together. The percentages shown represent the indicated game starts as a percentage of all starts by the pitcher for the seasons in which the battery was active. Batteries which are currently active are denoted in red.
