I don’t know if the strikeout rate will jump much next year, but the low rate this year I think was partially out of design. He was held on strict pitch counts the entire year and therefore was pitching to contact. The excellent 2 seemer and a pretty solid infield defense behind him probably got an additional 20-25 innings out of him than if he was trying to strike everybody out.
