You want to talk baseball efficiency? Well hang up your OPS, WHIP, and VORP stats and take a look at Alan Embree's line from last night. For those that missed it, Embree was credited with one third of an inning last night for the Rockies earning the win. That's pretty efficient in its own right, but looking at Embree's pitch count we see how efficient he was. 0-0 was Embree's ball-strike ratio last night.
That's right, Embree won the game without ever throwing a pitch by picking off a runner. Amazing. This is another reason I love baseball in the middle of summer. In the midst of all these droning summer games you get a cool stat line like Embree had last night. Doesn't get much better.
