Strikeout-to-Walk Ratio (K/BB)
After watching Thomas Eshelman from Cal State Fullerton pitch against Vanderbilt in the College World Series, it made me curious to know how good are the K/BB ratios at different levels. A higher ratio of strikes-to-walks indicates better command of the strike zone. So, I did some quick research and this is what I found.
Here are few pitchers who command the strike zone ...
