His strikeout ability was too weak—his K/9 value from 2005 to 2008 was only 4, although the league at that time was not as full of strikeouts as it is now. , but even after correcting for the era gap, Wang's strikeouts are still few. Since the 2000s, the league has had 1,549 qualifying starter seasons, and Wang's K%+ in 2006 (the same year he won the Cy Young Award) was only 51, meaning his strikeout rate was lower than the average of 49% that year, which was only 51%. Won nine pitching seasons.
Although the K%+ in the next year and the telemarketing list year after has risen to 74 and 79 respectively, it is still very low. Therefore, even if Wang Jianmin does not have many walks, his strikeout walk ratio in recent years is still 15% to 20% lower than the league average. Even so, he still relied on the ultra-low hit rate created by the best stretcher to keep FIP and xFIP above the average ─ Wang's grounding rate from 2005 to 2008 was 38% higher than the league average, only 38% higher than the league average. trailed by three pitchers ; meanwhile, home runs per nine innings were 54% below average, the lowest number in MLB over the same period .
Although Wang Jianmin's defense rate in 2006 and 2007 was indeed more beautiful, if we combine 2005 and 2008, his defense rate (85ERA-) is actually not much worse than 88FIP- and 94xFIP-. Therefore, during this period, Wang Jianmin was basically a non-top, but good enough early stage starter: from 2005 to 2008, he pitched 400 innings, and both ERA and FIP were better than the average of at least 10% of MLB starting pitchers, including Wang Jianmin. Also only 22 bits.
