'Of all the pitchers who've thrown at least 900 innings in their career, no one in the history of baseball struck out more hitters per nine innings than Billy Wagner.'
'A pitcher's number one job is to get outs and the most certain way to get an out is to not include the defense at all, and just strike the batter out yourself. And he was one of the best in history at doing that.'
'The good news for Wagner is he is most certainly trending upwards. He saw a huge bump in 2023 and fell only 7 percentage points shy.'
