4 walks and 4 strikeouts in 44.2 innings. That has to be some sort of record.
Right now, his K% is 2.4%.
From 1960-2012 the lowest K% of anyone with at least 40 innings was 3.5% and only three total guys were under 4%.

"Reality tells us there are no guarantees. Except that some day Jon Lester will be on that list of 100-game winners." - Peter Gammons
Gotta give the guy credit, tied a season high with 2 more Ks last night, up to 2.8% now. Unfortunately, he also blew away his season high in BBs in a game with 3, now at 6 K/7 BB in 51.2 IP.

Cook has a babip of .250 and a GB% of 61. Are we sure he's not one of those new types of guys that can control the fate of a batted ball?
"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
