He has been pitching well, but I wouldn't point to the league not seeing him. I would point to his .202 babip, which is incredibly low. He is not a bad pitcher, but he is not great either. His line drive rate of 17% is a bit lower than the league average of about 20%, yet not by much. His strikeout rate and walk rate are right around average. All of that adds up to a pretty lucky pitcher, especially since the Cubs are not a good fielding team.Originally Posted by Vottomatic
