[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1546556, member: 26283"] Jon Lester was 18-6 with a 3.32 ERA in 181 innings in 2018. He was 13-10 with a 4.46 ERA in 171 innings in 2019. Great year followed below average year, right? From 18 to 19 his FIP went down. His HR/9 ticked up only slightly despite HRs being up drastically MLB-wide. His BB/9 went down and his K/9 went up. His drop in results was entirely explained by his hits/9 jumping to a career high 10.7. And that number was entirely explained by his BABIP jumping from .294 in 2018 (his career is .302 and MLB average is .299) to a career high .350! in 2019. He was a better pitcher in 2019 than in 2018. He suffered some combination of bad luck or poor defensive play behind him. [/QUOTE]
