His peripherals are not good. He's due for some serious regression. His strike outs are too low.
I was told that last year and yet he keeps putting this long string together. He was supposed to regress from last year according to some people and yet he improved instead. Could it be that those peripherals are not the best way to judge some pitchers?
I thought his improvement through last year was impressive, but he certainly shouldn't regress this season or his days will be numbered. I thought he took too much criticism last season and before. I know this is his 5th season, but he didn't play that much in his first 2 seasons(54 total ABs). That being said, if he does regress this year I think his days as a starter here are numbered. Mr. Brinson's progress this year and next will go a long way in determining how long Leonys starts in CF for us.
Yeah, me too. lolI would prefer he keeps his ERA at 0.35.
He's getting good results, but he's not exactly dominating. He doesn't have swing and miss stuff. Yesterday he was fortunate a few times when his command slipped. If Pujols' bat doesn't break he hits a 3 run homer. Enjoy the ride, because while it's fun to watch him pitch it cannot keep up at this rate for too long.
I would like 7 innings an outing with more strike outs.I would prefer he keeps his ERA at 0.35.
"At this rate" is the key. He could not keep those numbers up at this rate if he struck out one per inning either.
I remember wishing Yu would get a few less strikeouts and last longer into games at times in the last couple of seasons.
Where does he rank in number of pitches per inning?
He ranks 12th in fewest pitches per plate appearances and is tied for 12th in fewest pitches per inning so his not missing bats is resulting in shorter at bats.
