FACTS / FLUKES: Iwakuma, Archer, Zobrist, Swisher, Shoemaker

Correction doesn't stop Iwakuma  ... In 2013, Hisashi Iwakuma (RHP, SEA) made an unlikely leap into the conversation of elite starters in his age 33 season, posting a 117 BPV with an impressive K/BB ratio. However, two years of S% in the 80s had us wondering how he'd fare when his luck evened out.
