Four pitchers with misleading stats

A simple look at box scores or studying fantasy classes doesn’t always tell the full story of how a player performs. Dalton Del Don attempts to identify recent misleading numbers that deserve a closer look.

Yes…the numbers don’t lie.

Strider ranks first among juniors in K%, K-BB%, and CSW and has a SIERA (2.71) that is 13% lower than the next best mark. However, his ERA does not rank in the top 30. He made trade offers if his managers were worried Strider’s two-pitch arsenal caught up to him. has one of The biggest differences are in ERA and FIP And he recently had a mechanical modification that resulted Increased speed – and even better things.

Stryder became the fastest pitcher never To reach 300 starting points and have Most Ks over his first 36 starts in MLB history. Atlanta’s elite offense should help with wins as well, so it’s easy to have Stryder as my fictional No. 1 running forward.

McClanahan has had a great season, but his ERA (2.23) and FIP (3.64) have Third largest difference Out of 67 qualified starters. His K-BB% (17.4) and SIERA (3.95) both rank outside the top 25, and his LOB% (90) is the highest in MLB.

Even more disturbing than the upcoming downhill is that McClanahan left his last start with a back injury that led to it different mechanics And Speed ​​decreased. want to stay in the game and he It is expected to start on Fridaybut Sugar Shane was originally expected to be a loyalist and was bowled badly last season (when his 35.7 K% in the first half dropped to 20.5% after the All-Star break), so there’s cause for concern.

Lance Lane’s age is 6.43 Lies

The fantasy directors probably don’t care or want to hear about it, but Lynn has been a wrecker of the lineage mostly thanks to bad luck. He has one of BABIP’s top five The biggest difference Ben’s FIP (4.85) and ERA (6.40) are among the 67 eligible rookies, but that doesn’t do him justice. SIERA is the best predictor of future ERA, and Lynn’s score of 3.83 ranks in the top 25 among providers — better than McClanahan. Moreover, Lin recently Recorded the most whiffs (33) in any match This season, he pitched 16 strikeouts.

Lynn had a tough game (LAA) during his next start on Thursday – a favorable park for the lefty power and against the Angels offense with the second-best wRC+ over the past month – but expect an ERA around 4.00 or (maybe a lot) lower for the rest of the season. Lynn hasn’t posted a win in over a month and has become a low buying opportunity for fantasy managers.

Josh Spur’s zero saves are a lie

Spurs owns Make minor changes Which made him one of the best catchers in baseball this season. He has a 0.51 ERA and 0.34 WHIP with a 24:2 K:BB ratio over his last 17.1 innings since the end of May. Spurs has scored over the last 300 pitches The second most whiff with permission zero barrels. Felix Bautista and Spurs The only removers to hold the top 10 in K-BB%, SwStr%, and CSW (first in last).

Spurs Monster who took over the Texas prep role, and is one injury away from compiling saves for the first-place Rangers. will Smith well established as the locker role, but he will turn 34 next month and have never pitched 70.0 innings in his career; Smith has hit 60.0 innings pitched in just four of the nine seasons since becoming a reliever.
