He has some extremely big holes in his swing - will be tough to correct all his flaws.Lightning Rod wrote: ↑31 Aug 2025 13:56 pm Walker...A ball, maybe AA, he's a complete joke. Set him down for the remainder and start him in the minors in the spring. Personally I don't believe he'll ever figure it out.

He does however posses strikeout stuff leading to a solid 2.94 FiP during that time frame.
How does a pitcher have most control over a home run? The first three I get but throwing in home runs seems strangerockondlouie wrote: ↑31 Aug 2025 14:04 pmNoblackinkbiz wrote: ↑31 Aug 2025 13:34 pmIs FiP basically expected ERA?rockondlouie wrote: ↑31 Aug 2025 13:25 pm Graceffo has been roughed up since mid July:

I'm letting AI give you the definition:
FiP measures a pitcher's effectiveness by only considering events they have the most control over: strikeouts (K), walks (BB), hit-by-pitches (HBP), and home runs (HR). By excluding the outcomes of balls put into play—which are heavily influenced by defense and luck—FIP aims to provide a clearer picture of a pitcher's true ability and predict future performance more accurately than traditional metrics like Earned Run Average (ERA).
Yeah I read that from the Google AI reply and I'm still not sure I fully grasp what the actual number represents. lol. I probably just don't care enough to expend any mental energy on it.rockondlouie wrote: ↑31 Aug 2025 14:04 pmNoblackinkbiz wrote: ↑31 Aug 2025 13:34 pmIs FiP basically expected ERA?rockondlouie wrote: ↑31 Aug 2025 13:25 pm Graceffo has been roughed up since mid July:

At it's core it takes out balls in play, the more strikeouts and fewer walks, HBP and HR's allowed the lower the FiP.blackinkbiz wrote: ↑31 Aug 2025 14:10 pmYeah I read that from the Google AI reply and I'm still not sure I fully grasp what the actual number represents. lol.
