On the pitching side the K rate is way higher but we are giving up more walks that last year. It's interesting how bb's takes a step-change increase starting in 2017. I must be missing something because it's basically all red numbers and that spans both Tony and Deggs seasons. That walk number is what's keeping the WHIP from being as high as ever because this team doesnt give up a lot of hits and the K a lot of guys.

OBP is down because walks taken are down by a good bit from last year (154 at this point last year vs 101.) But as noted, last year was a standout year for walks drawn by our batters (no seasons within 20 walks at the same point.)

At bats, one off from 2014
