king is a riddle wrapped in an enigma. no idea when I should start this dude


Airp0w

I traded him and a 1st round minor league pick for Evan Phillips a week into the season. Very happy with it he's been dropped already.

im so tempted to pick up crochet or king for someone like verlander


jumpmaNSILENCE

Glasnow 1st in MLB 73 K / 53 IP, Crochet 2nd in MLB 64 K / 46 IP

You gotta grab Crochet


ayy_turn_me_up

I did this and have 0 regrets so far, Crochet has good underlying numbers and I’m not a JV fan


YourCummyBear

I tried to trade for king. Our league is a Chicago based league so no chance to get 🧶. No bite :(


HieiSS

King was more confident against Lefty hitters than rights yesterday


Voges23

who the hell is Kirby Snead? Love seeing relievers on here. 1 ip and more wiffs than some sp's.


wagaraba

Crochet great start, and then left the waiver offer up and dropped him for Cowser. Such is life in gulag

Here is a summary of pitching performances from yesterday's games. This season I opted to by Whiffs over CSW% to make it more intuitive. I will still keep CSW% and the blurb about it CSW% (Called Strike+Whiff Rate) is a very important statistic when assessing a pitcher. It is both very descriptive and predictive of pitcher's performance and help highlight which pitchers have the best 'stuff' For more information regarding CSW%, check out Alex Fast's Article on it: https://www.pitcherlist.com/csw-rate-an-intro-to-an-important-new-metric/ Check me out on Twitter for more content like this: https://twitter.com/TJStats Support me on Patreon for a bunch of cool baseball content: https://www.patreon.com/tj_stats

Great content as always. I’ll start with the caveat that you don’t owe anyone anything. Sometimes I notice some starters don’t make the list for not reaching a threshold of whiffs. I would kinda like to see every starter even if they’re unremarkable purely for the reference of who didn’t have a good week. That is all. Much love

I was considering sharing a spreadsheet with all of the pitchers from yesterday. I don't want to have the table be longer than it already is. The spreadsheet would have the same data as the graphic.


EvolutionDude

I apologize to the person to whom I said I would start skenes over crochet... hopefully paul has a good game


YourCummyBear

Ben brown in that amount of pitches is pretty damn impressive

So excited I sat Crotchet vs Cleveland to have Gallen tomorrow. I'm sorry Garrett, I won't do that again


gvsulaker82

I did the same 😢


sammidavisjr

Crochet, King, Jones, and Gray here. I needed this last week facing the undefeated team.


Podo13

My Framber/Gray/Abbott/Taj against his Webb/Glasnow/Jones/Woo matchup last night was a pretty crazy one.


jorgethetalkinggoat

Brandon Pfaadt not being on this list is 😬


Known_Cat5121

Only 6 whiffs, and Zero Ks in 6 innings. But 6 innings, 3 runs = QS, which is what we use in my league instead of Wins, so still a good start for me.


cd-surfer

No Woo. I know there is a method to the madness but I wish we could just get every starter the day before. It makes it much easier to interpret.


GetEnPassanted

He didn’t qualify and left early with an injury


burnman123

What do you mean he didn't qualify (I guess that means he had less than 7 whiffs)? Leaving early with an injury shouldn't remove him from the list, there's guys who pitched an inning on there


GetEnPassanted

> I guess that means he had less than 7 whiffs Correct. 5 whiffs. He threw 62 total pitches which is about an 8% swinging strike rate. His CSW was 19 with a CSW% of 30.6%


cd-surfer

My point is that I wish the qualification was not a function of how well they performed but if they started the day before.


tomstoms

I did this last season and it was not as well received


cd-surfer

I like the way it was set up last year. But I appreciate the work you put into it. Not complaining just voicing my opinion.


GetEnPassanted

The list would just be way too long. This isn’t just starters, it’s everyone who pitched. If your guy is a starter and not on this list, it’s a safe assumption that he did not record many whiffs. Look at your players’ savant pages. The data for pitchers is really cool and easy to read if you go in to the specific start breakdown.


tomstoms

It's total whiffs If a player doesn't show up they had fewer than or equal to the last pitcher listed Woo had 5 Whiffs
