"I could have put him down for probably four spots for the pitchers. He's tough. His stats speak for themselves. This is a pretty good hitting league this year, and the stats he runs up.....His offspeed is his bread and butter, he knows how to pitch, knows how to use it, calls his own game, and seems to know what he can and can't do. He dealt against us. His stuff is outstanding and he has command but also control of his breaking ball in the strike zone. If it's 0-2, he will bounce it, he's got a 2-0 get-me-over variety, and he did this all game. He has a major league feel to pitch." ---Chattanooga manager Jayhawk Owens on LHP Gio Gonzalez

Good to hear Gio getting so much praise. Can't wait to see him in the bigs.

nothing on DLS?

Best Tools are divided by Baseball America into leagues, and in the South Atlantic League -- where DLS pitches -- he ranks as follows:

 

-2nd in strikeouts (with a large discrepancy in innings compared to those pitchers around him)

-2nd in WHIP

-4th in ERA

-1st in BAA

 

Whether opposing team's managers have acknowledged his talent or not, the statistics suggest DLS is fairly good.

so, since you are using averages for everything else as opposed to total hits, hits and walks, and earned runs allowed, you may as well use K/9 too, no?

 

11.2 K/9, which is, with just a quick look through the top numbers, far and away better than anyone else in the league.

 

just sayin

I didn't know Gio was that good with his change up. Good to hear.

me neither....its definitely good to hear....he should be able to get righties out if he can command the changeup, to me he sounds like danks, but with a better ability to get K's
