All I'm saying is that both Hill and LeBlanc are soft tossing lefties, and LeBlanc seemed to develop strikeout ability this season, so he was worth keeping for depth purposes at least. It's not like he performed like Diamond or Wolf (last season) where neither had strikeout ability.
8.53 K/9, 2.11 BB/9, 2.51 FIP
Rich Hill in 2015 before his call-up:
8.07 K/9, 2.51 BB/9, 3.59 FIP
It's not unreasonable to expect great contribution from him if we called him up, the peripherals are great.
True, and I think the larger decrease with the 4SM may actually be do to the systems wrongfully classifying 2SM as 4SM since he throws so few of them now, and tosses many high 2SM that lose that vertical movement.
