A few notes about Harry Lyerly (yes, I know I've become a little obsessed with this guy): he is best in the MGL (second best in the WPK behind reliever Jamel McNeil, who has pitched enough innings to qualify and has an 11.9/9 IP K rate) in K/9 IP, is 2nd in the MGL in K's total (with 3 fewer games started then the man ahead of him), tied for 1st in shutouts with 2, 7th in K to BB ratio.
But mostly what impresses me is that with 25 major league starts now, Lyerly's FIP is 2.85 and his FIP- is 78. Still a small sample size yes, but getting less small all the time. And staying pretty constant so far over 2 seasons.
Is he for real?
The advanced statistical evidence seems to suggest he just might be.
