Of all the pitchers who threw at least 30 innings, the Cardinals’ reliever Giovanny Gallegos (0.81) tied for first with Brewers’ reliever Josh Hader … on MLB.com. And ESPN.com. And FanGraphs.com.
That stat site takes WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched) to the extra decimal spot – to the thousandths.
Alas, Hader’s WHIP on baseball-reference.com was 0.806, while Gallegos’ was 0.811. So, Hader’s WHIP was actually 0.005 better than Gallegos. Congrats to the long-haired Hader (WHIPi Longstocking) for the honor.
Per Cardinals' PR, Pat Neshek in 2014 is the franchise single-season reliever WHIP leader at 0.
