Stetter carving a role in MIL pen
July 3, 2009 - Harold Nichols
Take a look at these numbers for the month of June: ERA 0.00, WHIP 0.39, Ctl 0.9, Dom 16.5, BPV 275. They belong to Mitch Stetter (LHP, MIL), lefty specialist in the MIL bullpen, and while they came in a tiny sample size of 10 IP, they make us wonder whether Stetter is worth a second look. Here are his BPI:Year/Level IP ERA WHIP Ctl Dom Cmd BPV ========== === ==== ==== === ==== === === 2007 AAA 15 5.92 1.02 3.3 10.1 3.1 124 2008 MIL 25 3.20 1.30 6.8 11.0 1.6 97 2009 MIL 26 2.39 0.91 3.8 11.6 3.1 117
Stetter has been pitching well for the past three seasons in a limited role. When he came up in 2008 Jeremy Deloney noted that he has average stuff at best, with a fastball that rarely reaches 90 MPH. But Deloney said that "he is particularly strong on lefties, especially when he drops down and uses a sweeping slider." The one thing that has plagued Stetter consistently is the occasional lapse in control. His poor control ratio in 2008 was the result of a 13.5 Ctl ratio during May, and in April and May of this season, his Ctl was 6.4 and 5.0. On the positive side, he fans more than a batter an inning, and he doesn't allow many hits. Because of his limited role, he won't get many innings, and he's an unlikely candidate for vulture wins. But he's worth a look as a LIMA replacement, especially in leagues that count k's.
