Here are his ratios each month this year starting with April
43/22 = 1.95
40/33 = 1.21
34/33 = 1.03
35/42 = .833
21/28 = .75 (after Friday's start it is 27/33 = .818)
Last year it was
261/168 = 1.55
In 2008 it was
265/182 = 1.46
For all of this year it is 1.09 = 173/158
Th NL average in 2010 is 14751/17652 =.834
I don't know how important this ratio is. Alot of young flame throwers see their strikeouts fall as they get older.
Tim Kawakami of the Mercury News has a possible explanation. Go to The math on Tim Lincecum: Lots of pitches, lots of innings, not enough MPH (lately).
