K/9 measures the proportion of outs a pitcher gets from strikeouts. In Bullock's case, he does strike out a lot of batters, but part of what elevates his K/9 is that he doesn't get many batters out any other way. If he fails to walk or strike out a batter, he often gives up a hit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
