Through his first two seasons with the Brewers, Zach Davies has proven to be remarkably consistent.
Many of his 2017 numbers were very similar to the ones he posted a year ago, including ERA (3.90 compared to 3.97), HR/FB (12% compared to 12.4%), LOB% (74.2 compared to 72%), BABIP (.302 both years), and fWAR (2.8 compared to 2.7).
The similarities even extend to how those seasons played out. Both years, Davies struggled immensely out of the gates, fighting his location and getting hit hard as a result. In his first start of 2017, Davies was shellacked by the team that eventually beat out the Brewers for the final Wild Card spot, the Colorado Rockies.
