Civale’s kinda fun with how he goes about his business. He’s up to 96 IP with MIL and there are 190 pitchers with at least 100 IP going back to last year.
First thing that jumps out is all the bombs. Civale’s 156 HR+ would slot in at 182nd.
Though that is partly a function of all the fly balls. Civale’s 128 FB+ would slot in at 6th.
Strikeouts (93 K+), Walks (96 BB+), Hits (98 AVG+), Base Runners (97 WHIP+) are all pretty middling.
As you may have surmised that all shakes out to a pretty ugly 121 FIP- that would slot in at 172nd.
So how has he managed to keep runs off the board (94 ERA- would slot in 82nd) at an above average rate with the Brewers?
When all those fly balls aren’t sailing over the fence they result in a low 89 BABIP+ (26th) and high strand rate with a 114 LOB+ (10th).
