I find this logic interesting, but it doesn't seem to follow unless Familia will be staying in the SAL for a few years. …don’t ground balls turn into hits as pitchers face better hitting?..

I find this logic interesting, but it doesn’t seem to follow unless Familia will be staying in the SAL for a few years.

I brought up the weak K-rate and he noted they have huge GB% which will eventually turn into strikeouts as their breaking balls become more refined.. he also said Familia's K% is increasing monthly: "Familia K% = May - 16.4%, June - 20.5%, July - 29.8 % (see a trend)" - ScoutingtheSally hey Toby the guy from ScoutingtheSally praised Carson and Familia when I asked about them..
