The rankings here are out of 284 teams. Rankings are in terms of best outcome, so ranking 1 in ERA is the lowest ERA and ranking 1 in K/9 is the most strikeouts per 9 innings. And the methodology I used in picking starters were the 4 pitchers on each team with the most starts. In the event of a tie, I went with most innings pitched to get to 4.
Some things that stand out... The relievers aren't great, but they aren't horrible, although they do throw way too many wild pitches. Our starters throw huge innings compared to most other teams. Our starters are successful primarily because they throw strikes and don't give up free passes. Like Ben harps on, if our guys aren't walking batters, they are generally successful. If there is any other data point you think I missed, I am happy to add it. This was just what I selected to show.
I really expected our relievers would be closer to 200 in ERA and other categories and was pleasantly surprised.
