2513391, Nerds are getting fascinated with Kyle Gibson Posted by Walleye, Tue Jan-26-16 11:48 AM
I'm not swiping this one because it's got charts and gifs and says more or less the same thing as the last one:
Kyle Gibson stands out with two other pitchers for his ability to get batters to chase pitches out of the zone. Those pitchers, Francisco Liriano and Dallas Keuchel, have turned that chase-ability into a high number of swinging strikes and some poor, groundball oriented contact making a full package that is Cy Young Award quality.
Gibson has the poor contact part down. But the strikeouts haven't come. Are they on the horizon? This article examines that question a bit more. Read.
