In ten appearances (14.2 innings pitched) Matt Strahm of the San Diego Padres owns an earned-run average of 3.07. He has allowed five earned runs on 10 base hits. He has struck out eight batters and allowed nine walks. Strahm has also allowed 2 round-trippers.
Although the above stat-line is not Brad Hand-esque, it is still very good for someone who started the year on the disabled list and only managed 34.2 innings last year before undergoing season-ending knee surgery.
Strahm’s pitches per inning (P/IP) is an encouraging 16.8, his pitches per plate appearance is a miserly 3.
