Thank you for this, I appreciate you taking the time to try and explain it.
Ok, so you were focusing on K% which is projected as great in 2023 down to 24.4% from 27% in 2022.
If we are using projections, what about BB/9- His 2023 BB/9 is projected at 3.53 by Steamer..
Rating BB/9 BB%
Excellent 1.5 4.5%
Great 1.9 5.5%
Above Average 2.5 6.5%
Average 2.9 7.7%
Below Average 3.2 8.0%
Poor 3.5 8.5%
Awful 4.0 9.0%
Poor is the second to worst possible BB/9 projection you can get..
Guys like Rodon, Above average, Mahle, average etc, so I don't think using just Kikuchi's K% is an apples and apples comp for projecting future success.. I don't know... I have only see regression from him since the All -Star appearance.
Thanks again.
