Mier | 19 | 263 | .201/.297/.254 | 1.56:1 |
Okay, so this is obviously telling of a few things:
-J.D. Martinez needs to stop playing here, because it's not even fair. His OPS is 299 points above league average.
-Jose Altuve, being about a year and a half younger than league average, is doing really well.
-Jiovanni Mier is not, but he's also about two and a half years younger than the average SAL player. He and Jonathan Meyer are the only 19-year olds on the team.
Lexington - pitchers (Note: cutoff was 40IP. Sure, it's arbitrary, but there had to be a line drawn somewhere) (Further note: Organized compared to League Average WHIP)
Name | Age | IP | ERA/WHIP | K:BB | Leon | 23 | 45.2 | 2.17/1.10 | 2.48:1 | Trinidad | 22 | 45.1 | 2.78/1.21 | 3.30:1 | Donovan | 22 | 71 | 2.41/1.23 | 1.52:1 | LgAvg | 21.8 | x | 3.79/1.31 | 2.58:1 | Bushue | 19 | 62 | 3.63/1.34 | 2.73:1 | Cisnero | 21 | 56.2 | 4.29/1.36 | 1.87:1 | Alvino | 23 | 41.2 | 3.24/1.39 | 2.85:1 | Minaya | 19 | 62.1 | 5.20/1.48 | 1.27:1 |
Some things to regard here:
-In what is pretty obviously a pitcher's league, the Astros have some arms better than the rest of the league. Maybe you looked at Bushue's place in this table and were surprised to find him below LgAvg. Don't fear, he's also almost three years younger than the typical SAL pitcher, and he has a better K:BB ratio and ERA.
-Same with Juan Minaya. His peripheral numbers are worse than league average, but he's also just 19.
