Abbott’s Unstoppable Streak: What Secrets Are Behind Today’s Relentless Dominance?
The Reds are surprisingly good this season, and continue to push the envelope as much as possible to find a way to get to the playoffs. This is a young and scrappy team. They aren’t the best hitting team in the big leagues – I went into detail about this a few days ago – they are pretty average when it comes to most of their overall statistics. However, they do have more runs scored than their opponent for the season, but they have a batting average that is almost .10 lower than the Phillies. The Reds pitching staff has also been better than I expected. There isn’t a big name pitcher on the staff, but some of these young guys look like they will pan out. One of those younger guys here is Andrew Abbott. Abbott is having a very good season with a 7-1 record and a 1.79 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP. He doesn’t qualify for the leaderboard for those numbers at the moment but he has 80 innings over 14 starts for the year, which means he averages about five and two-thirds innings per game. Just trying to clarify that Abbott is making a lot of starts and these numbers have been sustainable. He has two starts where he has allowed more than one earned run. Two. One was against the Brewers, the other was against the Rockies. Phillies hitters have been pretty poor against Abbott in the past, getting just five hits in 29 at-bats.
