Walks in baseball are way down in 2015

By Dr. Ed Feng Leave a Comment

Screen Shot 2015-08-17 at 4.31.25 PMEric Chemi wrote an excellent piece on CNBC on how walks are way down in baseball this season.

I made a small contribution to the story, pointing out the importance of walks as a pitching statistic compared with strike outs. Still, it got me quoted in the same story as Billy Beane, Oakland’s GM and the hero of Moneyball.

Bucket list, check.

It’s a really good read. I particularly like the two visuals they made that support the story.
