Pittsburgh Pirates starter Trevor Williams had a breakout performance last season, posting a 3.11 ERA through 31 starts. It was his second full season at the major league level. This also included a near-historic second half in which he posted a 1.38 ERA.
Trevor William‘s success in 2019 had a great deal to do with his 76.6 LOB%, which was well above the league average of 72.8%. William’s ability to limit runners from scoring reached its peak during his second-half run when he managed to strand 90.8% of runners.
Playing around with the data a bit, if we recalculate William’s high LOB% using the league average of 73%, his run total rises to 70.
