"This Year in Baseball" Numbers

MLB's This Year in Baseball awards' voting ends December 5. Go vote for Pedroia as RotY, Buchholz for best one-game performance, and Drew for Best Postsesaon Moment. There are Sox-related options in every category except for Best Regular Season Moment (I think).

For each option in each category, they have some numbers about each. I compiled all the most impressive stats for Sox-related options into a list, organized by player. All stats are regular-season.


JOSH BECKETT:

194:40
Strikeout-to-walk ratio.

1.14
Walks and hits per inning pitched.


JONATHAN PAPELBON:

12.96
Strikeouts per 9 innings pitched.

0.77
Walks and hits per inning pitched.


HIDEKI OKAJIMA:

.202
Opponents' batting average.


CLAY BUCHHOLZ

73
Strikes thrown. (Sept. 1, 2007 only)

115
Pitches thrown. (Sept. 1, 2007 only)

98
Most pitches thrown per game (in 2007) prior to September 1.


Sigh... isn't it February yet?
