Bob Tewksbury had a 4.54 K/9 in ’82… Still he completed 13 of 23 games that year and had 12 pretty decent years in the majors.

Bob Tewksbury, 1982, Fort Lauderdale: 182.1 IP, 92 K.

And of course, the fact that one is reduced to looking to Bob Tewksbury as a refutation of your point probably does more to make your point than to refute it.

40 innings is a small sample size.

Additionally, I am not aware of any pitcher, ever, who has got to the Major Leagues and been successful, who has struck out less than 5 per 9 in A-ball.

Whilst it’s nice to point out some of the transient successes at these levels, a lot of these limited guys (e.g. Sherriff) just aren’t “prospects”. Suggesting they are makes the tag kind of meaningless.

He was picked pitcher of the month for June so that’s a start.

Ryan Sherriff has been getting no prospect attention. He’s got impressive numbers in the FCL. In six starts that’s 40IP 5-0 2.23 ERA has held opponents to a .176 AVG LH Batters are just hitting .159 against him possible LOOGY candidate. Averaging 4.46 K/9 only 1.12 BB/9 not much of a strikeout guy contact pitcher 48.4% Groundball Rate while maintaining a .197 BABIP. 40 Innings is not a small sample size.

Some power arms starting tonight. I would like to see Martinez continue throw the ball well like he has in his past two starts. Jenkins like to see him be more consistent in his outing. He’s a very raw pitcher you will get inconsistent starts from young pitchers he will need plenty more development time though.
