Banning Runs

Brian Bannister, who quickly became the favorite pitcher of stat heads with his knowledge of sabermetrics, made a fine 2008 debut today. He held the Tigers to two hits over seven innings. He also walked none while striking out four. He also works efficiently, throwing a little over twelve pitches per inning. Bannister appears to be one of those pitchers who can survive with a low strikeout rate. He only induced seven ground outs (one a double play), but he did get a number of pops as well. He's fooling batters enough that they're not making great contact.
