Matt Garza's Balls

Matt Garza’s Balls (in play) |

snippet:

Basically what has happened in his two starts is those balls that generally go for fly balls are being hit harder now and turning into line drives. Line drives fall for hits a much much higher rate than fly balls do. Last year in the NL fly balls fell for hits in play at a rate of only 13.6%, but on the other hand line drives fall for hits at a rate of 72.1%. Garza’s balls in play are dropping for hit’s at a little higher rate than that (28.6% and 86.7% respectively), but we can start to see exactly why so much of the contact against Garza is turning into hits, and why his ERA currently sits above five and a half.
