Quality Starts
I saw in some notes from STATS, Inc, that Jeremy Bonderman had a number of quality starts recently. He is 3-5 in nine quality starts this year, which led me to wonder what was the worst record for a pitcher in his quality starts? I looked at pitchers with at least 10 QS from 1987 to 2003. Here are the worst winning percentages:
Pitcher Year QS W L WPct
Kyle Abbott 1992 10 0 6 0.000
Danny Darwin 1997 12 1 6 0.143
Steve Cooke 1994 13 1 5 0.167
Rick Mahler 1988 18 4 8 0.333
Omar Daal 2000 12 3 6 0.333
Vicente Palacios 1994 11 2 4 0.333
Ken Hill 1989 18 5 9 0.357
John Dopson 1988 17 3 5 0.375
Willie Blair 1998 10 3 5 0.375
Bruce Ruffin 1991 11 3 5 0.375
Frank Castillo 2002 11 3 5 0.375
Tony Saunders 1998 19 5 8 0.385
Bonderman will make this list if he loses his next quality start, which won't be tonight, since the Red Sox are up 12-3 on the Tigers.
