Sorry bout that, I got caught in my own shorthand. When a guy throws an 81 MPH fastball (apparently due to injury) and has no changeup to speak of, I'm amazed he can keep the GB rates up and the XBH rates in the basement.
He IS normally a huge groundballer, which is part of why his hit rate is so high (more flyballs = more HRs given up, more grounders = more hits normally).
And I have no problem with him being used against lefties. We could use an sort of decent LOOGY, no doubt.
He's still a strange pitcher. :)
