SPECULATOR: 2017 Last 31 Days—Pitchers

Building on Brent's piece last week on recent batter performance, this week we apply some filters to pitcher performance from the past 31 days in search of some candidates for upcoming performance improvements based on recent metrics. Along the way, we'll discuss some of the more interesting names that pop up.

(All stats as of June 14, and we'll use a minimum of 20 IP in last 31 days as our filter.)

 

Let's start with a look at some pitchers who might be getting unfairly victimized by the HR ball.

Gaviglio, Sam        1.7     28%
Perdomo, Luis        1.7     24%
Hendricks, Kyle      1.6 ...

We've all had a bad day at the office... what if we grant a mulligan to some starting pitchers who had one as well?

With skills so bad, we can only speculate on an underlying injury. We hope we're wrong!
