What pitching stats tell you the most about any pitcher - and what do the actually tell you?
|
The following is opinion and preference:
I check ERA (it is a contextual stat but it is still useful), then I check K/BB ration, WHIP, BABIP and see if any of those stats explain the ERA.
To me the bottom line is the number of run allowed. How they are, or are
not, being allowed is important to understand if it is my pitcher, bad luck or my defense.
This will also help:
BABIP
WHIP
