Gerrit Cole: Strikeout Attributes decreasing?
-
Cole continues to lead baseball or be in the top 5 for strikeouts each season. However, the game continues to lower his attribute. ( 80 - now 70..)
Why is this???
-
243 Ks in 181 IP in 2021
257 Ks in 200 IP in 2022
134 Ks in 123 IP this year.
His K/9 is going down,which is the metric they use. -
Fair. However, it’s still top in baseball and usually they don’t update guys so dramatically during the season, but with Cole it’s gone down 80 points in like 4 updates.
-
@PAinPA_PSN I just think it’s ridiculous being 70, when he started 80 and he is a top strikeout pitcher in the game. They have bums with higher K attributes
-
@PAinPA_PSN let’s go honest, the guy has broken records for Ks the last 3 seasons and is at 70
-
Gerrit Cole: 12.4 K9 in 2018,13.4 in 2019,11.6 in 2020,12.1 in 2021,11.5 in 2022, 9.8 in 2023.
his attribute should be going down,his strikeout rates aren't as high as they used to be. -
@PAinPA_PSN again, you are being as direct as you can be, and I respect that... However, it just seems to be a bit more consistent with Cole compared to other guys... He is also still on pace for 200 plus K for a third straight season and when you sim a franchise he finishes with like 120 now that he is 70.
-
Doesn't matter how many he ends up with, they base the attribute off of K9, he had a very good attribute in 19,20 and 21 when his K9 was 12,but he's barely managing 1/inning now,that's 4-5Ks per game on average.
To put it a different way, a K9 of 12 is 8Ks in 6 innings on average,but this year he is getting about 5-6 Ks in 6 innings on average. -
