Strikeouts relief
Sporting News, The, August 26, 2005 by Jeff Boggis
StriKeouts relief Strikeouts per innings pitched (KPIP) is an excellent statistic for measuring a pitcher's strikeout efficiency. The stat is especially helpful if you are in a fantasy league with an innings limit and are looking for a way to maximize your remaining innings and improve your strikeouts. The best way to accomplish this goal is to carry some middle relievers and/or make a trade for a premier closer. Start your search for bullpen help at the top of the KPIP heap. Rk.
