An interesting fantasy baseball column about pitching...

Kind of interesting that 20% of MLB batters get to a 3 ball count now, most since 2007.

And interesting that in a 2-0, 2-1, or 3 ball count that the OBP for batters in those situations is a whopping .450.

Also would follow that the number of pitches per batter is at a post 2000 high of 3.89. Think about it. For a pitcher to go thru the lineup just once now, it's a whopping 35 pitches. And so often you see something like yesterday's Nats/ DBacks game where the Nats bat around in the 1st inning vs Robbie Ray, and he's got 35 pitches in the 1st inning. Means you will see the pen a whole lot faster and more often in a 3-4 game series.
