The Todd Wellemeyer Effect

The Cardinals are now leading major league baseball with a 2.63 ERA over the first 8 games. They are succeeding by limiting walks. The staff’s 18 walks are the lowest in the majors and are almost 2 times less than the Milwaukee Brewers (35). True to form for a Dave Duncan staff, they are 12th in major league baseball in K’s, but their walks are low enough that their strikeout to walk ratio is 3rd with a 2.83 mark (2.83 K’s to 1 Walk)
