What are Stromans innings capped at?

[King]

I would just leave him as a reliever at this point.

Fine for first season max two for high school kids it's ok, but after low A he's a hindrance to the development of starters.

 

I think it's fine for the 19 year olds that are in A ball to be piggy backed. Gives them tougher competition while also limiting their innings.

Hasn't been awful lately, just unlucky in terms of himeruns

 

I dont understand how a pitcher can be unlucky by giving up home runs. Unless you're pitching at an extreme hitters park and the ball keeps barely squeaking out, a home run means a hitter squared up your mistake. The whole xFIP philosophy where every pitcher should give up a home run 10.5% of every fly ball can be pretty flawed. Just look at Estrada. Stroman has been getting hit harder than any other Starter in the league. The most balls given up that come off the bat at 100+ MPH isn't even close. Naturally he's gonna give up more home runs because of that. I don't understand how that makes him unlucky.

exactly... but when they get to AA they need to start building arm strength and learning how to pitch when they get tired. That's a skill that is learned with time and experience.

Good call, Keith!

I was a pretty unlucky pitcher as well. Hitters always piling up hits on me. Stupid bad luck with babip.

I never had to worry about BABIP because most of them left the park. I guess that's why I got moved to third!
