Thread: In this organization, it's all about pitching

I was just having a look at the performance of the Twins' affiliates and their collective numbers. Something interesting popped up. In this organization, from Beloit to the Twins, each teams' record is a reflection of the team's pitching and not of its hitting. And more specifically WHIP. Hitting helps (and that is what mainly separates the Snappers from the Red Wings) but pitching is the main driver (and WHIP correlates more with Ws than any other simple pitching measure) ... Thought I'd share

TEAM	RECORD	WHIP	OPS
Rock Cats	18 W 12 L	1.168	0.662
Snappers	17 W 13 L	1.294	0.736
Red Wings	12 W 16 L	1.303	0.651
Miracle	11 W 19 L	1.376	0.641
Twins	7 W 20 L	1.429	0.658

Great data.
Funny . . . or telling . . . how it all correlates.
