Petit home/road splits
Posted by Matthew NameeBelow, Dave wondered about Yusmerio Petit's home/road splits at Capital City. Well, I looked around and found them. I also noticed that Petit pitched a gem on Sunday, 5.2 innings with just one hit and eleven strikeouts. He's now 9-1, with a 2.10 ERA and a 112-21 K-BB in 77 innings this year.
At home, Petit is 5-1, 2.53 with a 57-9 K-BB in 42.2 innings. On the road, he's 4-0, 1.57 with a 55-12 K-BB in 34.1 innings. So by ERA and K-rate, he's actually better on the road (though his control has been a little better at home).
You can check back here at THT Live for periodic updates on Petit, just like you get updates from me on Jon Knott, Ramon Castro, Henri Stanley, and Bucky Jacobsen.
