Grey Albright's 2022 Player Summary
Okay, this might mean nothing, or maybe I’m just not sure what it means, but I found it interesting. Framber has a 27.4% chase rate and only 54.1% Contact on those pitches. That’s absurdly low. That’s basically saying very few people are chasing, but... (click to read the rest)

Framber Valdez Fantasy Outlook For 2022

Grey Albright Player Summary
Okay, this might mean nothing, or maybe I’m just not sure what it means, but I found it interesting. Framber has a 27.4% chase rate and only 54.1% Contact on those pitches. That’s absurdly low. That’s basically saying very few people are chasing, but just as many people connect, i.e., hitters aren’t swinging at balls, and with good reason. Other guys who are down there for both are FreddyKBB, McCullers and the Exiled Nazi. I can think of reasons why this is a good list and why it’s not. Other guys mentioned have insanely great SwStr% and Framber does not. What’s odd about Framber is that it seems like hitters don’t swing at anything from him. His Swing% is 2nd in the league to his teammate, the aforementioned McCullers, Cullers, Cullers. What I think this is, and this is a guess, hitters aren’t picking up the ball out of Framber’s hand, so they don’t know whether it’s going to be a good pitch or not. Watching him pitch, though, and I don’t think that reason tracks. Also, like his teammate, McCullers, Framber should only throw the curve, and maybe what makes the curve effective is how well it tunnels with his sinker/fastball. Ya know, if there’s anyone out there reading this and is good at math, there’s one equation that has yet to be written that would be very helpful, something like an xK/9 or xK% (i.e., expected strikeouts). Not sure how it would work. Something like stabilizing with the league average chase rate%, K%, SwStr%, then comparing that to each player, and, well, I just fell asleep thinking about it, but if you’re so inclined. My guess is Framber’s xK% or xK/9 would be lower than his real K% or K/9. Any hoo! There’s a lot of shrugging through this blurb, but sometimes a guy who is a career 8.7 K/9, 3.74 ERA pitcher is a 8.7 K/9, 3.74 ERA pitcher.
