If you go to fangraphs.com > leaders > pitchers > starters > plate discipline > sort by swing % ...
Fister's 40.8 swing % would be virtually lowest in the major leagues, and that despite his tiny walk rate.   The man is throwing everything for strikes and yet nobody ever swings.
Average is what, 46% or so ... Wakefield has about an average swing rate...
Moyer's lifetime swing % is 43.7%, well below average, and oddly, Radke's (since 2002) was 52%, way above average...
