Rockie Pitcher Similarity Scores
I ran similarity scores for every NL West pitcher using 2008 ZIPS Projections adjusted for park. The three stats I looked at were HR/9, K/9 and BB/9. Those are the only three factors this study looked at. It was meant to compare how similar or different each NL West pitcher was to each other for the 2008 season only. Here are the Rockie starting pitchers three most similar NL West pitchers and three least similar NL West pitchers.
Pitcher: Cook
Most: 1. Maddux, 2. Lowe, 3. Kuroda
Least: 1. Prior, 2. Johnson, 3. Jimenez
