WHAT IT MEANS
Again, probably not much. The competition is uneven and the playing time is sporadic. The most innings anyone pitched was 44.1. But it's baseball. It's interesting, it's fun, and it's something to help us get through the long winter.
Duderino making the most of his opportunity!
JeffA, do you know how much of his WHIP was W and how much was H?
(Awfully short starts though.)
15 hits, 14 walks.
The short starts are probably not so much a function of how he pitched as how pitchers are used in Caribbean Leagues. Four- or five-inning starts are not unusual, even if someone is pitching well. It's also not unusual to see a team use six to eight pitchers in a game, especially if it's a close game.
That's almost to the H/W ratio >1.0 that I was hoping for.
I thought the short starts might be a Winter-League thing, but couldn't remember for sure.
Deolis Guerra, 3-2, 3.81, 1.12 WHIP, 31 Ks in 26 innings
cool.
