Suppresses damage and throws strikes — the full package.

Gray is comfortably above average at preventing runs

The simulator expects 0.396 bases allowed per batter faced against him — better than 89th percentile of qualified pitchers. His standout tool is Quiet Contact (81st percentile). Short relief stints inflate strikeout rates a touch, so read the Strikeouts spoke with that in mind.

Each spoke is a skill estimate adjusted for sample size (not raw season stats), so farther out = better.

What drives it

Every plate appearance ends one of three ways: a strikeout (0 bases), a walk (1 base), or a ball in play worth its estimated bases.
The bar splits his runs prevented into those pieces, versus the league.
Fewer bases allowed is better. In the table, 100th percentile = best in MLB.
