I know most people are going to be like great, he’s telling me to buy an elite pitcher. There’s real good reason though. A lot of people only look at the W-L record and the number of K’s. just look at his peripherals though and you will understand why. The K/BB ratio is well above elite status and he’s throwing an incredibly low amount of pitches per inning. Of great appeal though is that he’s doing all of this with a normal BABIP.

Nothing about this looks good to me. Low k/bb and PTO. High P/IP and qERA. Be thankful that someone will pay for his wins.
