Not that I'm doubting the numbers,
I’m just wondering what their sources are saying. If you look at this, which is what I referenced in my article above, Liriano’s 2010 whiff rate on his slider was 22.3%…which is still among the league’s best.
I was wondering about that too after I saw your article
Maybe the 44.8% measures the miss percent per swing, while the 22.3% measures the total miss percentage? Meaning that the 22.3 includes every pitch, whether taken or swung at?
This was a triumph
I'm making a note here - huge success
