In 2026 he had a lower WHIP against lefties than righties. So there is a little bit of reverse split stuff going on to cover for our lack of lefties.

He also had a vastly lower walk rate with guys on base. 2.66 BB/9 with runners on base vs 6.65 BB/9 with bases empty. His highest K/9 split was with RISP, 10.59 K/9. His WHIP with runners on was 1.224, with RISP it was
1.242, both good numbers.

They could just have him throw from the stretch all the time and improve his command.

So an ERA of 9+ with almost 1 BB per inning is better than an ERA of 4.2 with a better BB/IP number? ? Suggestion: Retake Math 101, sit in the front of the class, and stay awake this time.


Shallow. Now compare the competition.
