Kansas City Royals: The real problem with Glenn Sparkman

Glenn Sparkman‘s last win came against the Chicago White Sox on July 16 when the Kansas City Royals offense won big 11-0. Sparkman was great that day, tossing a complete game and allowed just 5 hits all day while striking out 8. However, he’s lost his last 9 starts and while I do realize wins and losses might be the most overrated stat for pitchers, Sparkman has by no means been good.

In fact, he’s been one of the worst starting pitchers this year. According to StatCast, Sparkman is allowing an average exit velocity of 90.
