Another scoreless outing for Ryu. 7 and 2/3 innings this time
8-1, FIP 2.5, ERA 1.48
An insane 0.55 BB/9
He walks one batter about every 2-3 games. Smh
Last couple years have been something
1/3 of the way through the season
Multiple teams on pace for franchise records
17 players on pace for 40 HR
7 are on pace for 50 HR
Blip or a persistent trend? How much is the ball and how much is a change in hitters approaches?
I had a quick look. Among some notable hitters
Bryce Harper has both a ground ball rate and hard hit ball rate over 40%. So do Miguel Cabrera and Christian Yelich.
Trout has a GB rate under 40% with hard hit rate over 40. So do Mookie Betts and Cody Bellinger.
As of this morning:
1. TBR
2. NYY
3. BOS
4. TOR
5. BAL
Looks about right actually. I can see that holding up. I can also see the Yankees and Rays flipped a few times and ending up with either as division winner and the other as a WC
