Indeed, four years ago on my personal blog, I wrote that Luke Hochevar was the WORST PITCHER IN BASEBALL with runners on base:
If, however, you extend the search parameter back five seasons to 2008 (Luke’s first full season in the rotation), Hochevar has accumulated -5.7 LOB-wins: the worst mark in the major leagues. Luke’s primary downfall is his tendency to allow base-runners to score. Of course, our eyes have told us that Hochevar’s nemesis is”the big inning”; but it’s interesting to see that the new metric asserts Luke is worse than any pitcher in baseball in this area.
