MLB Notes: Losing control

Over his last four starts, Chad Billingsley(notes) has a 9.45 ERA with a 1.99 WHIP. He threw 200.2 innings last season and doesn’t rank among the top-10 in Baseball Prospectus’ pitcher abuse points in 2009, so it’s not like he should be wearing down. It’s probably just a blip on the radar and nothing to worry about, but improved control would be nice, as his 4.02 BB/9 mark is worse than last season.
Teammate Clayton Kershaw’s(notes) 4.85 BB/9 mark actually ranks last in the league, but both pitchers remain successful because they are just so tough to hit. In fact, Kershaw’s .200 BAA is the second lowest in baseball. The fact Kershaw has a 2.76 ERA and 1.23 WHIP despite the worst walk rate in the game reveals huge upside moving forward. Kershaw should win a Cy Young someday and is easily one of the five most valuable pitching commodities in a keeper league.
