An explanation:
Pitches = Number of pitches thrown
Strikes = Seriously?
P/O = Pitches per out
P/PA = Pitches per plate appearance
PA/K = Plate appearances per strikeout
Astros Pitcher Efficiency
Name | Pitches | Strikes | P/O | P/PA | PA/K |
Oswalt | 302 | 196 | 5.30 | 3.97 | 4.47 |
Wandy | 266 | 161 | 4.59 | 3.55 | 10.7 |
Myers | 317 | 212 | 5.28 | 3.73 | 7.08 |
Norris | 274 | 160 | 7.21 | 4.49 | 3.59 |
Paulino | 324 | 191 | 6.48 | 4.32 | 6.82 |
A couple of things here. While Bud Norris has the highest pitch/plate appearance ratio, he has the lowest plate appearance/strikeout ratio. Wandy has the lowest pitch per plate appearance ratio, but isn't striking anybody out.
