Kimbrel just shattered the all time K/9 all time rate

[stevenash]

16.9 K's per nine.
Plus I don't think he gave up more than one hit in any one inning all season.

Filthy !

Jesus, I thought for sure Chapman would hold this record down. Dude is at 15+ currently.

I knew Kimbrel was good, but didn't realize he was this freakish in this category. Just looked him up, and the guy was 17+ in 2010 through 21 games, and was 18+ in a farm league.

Kimbrel was great last year and got even better this year.

He started season 11 Innings/4 Runs by May 4th. Since then, nearly flawless.

Based on what exactly???
K/9
K/W ratio
Batting average against
Save %

Just exactly what are you basing this on?

chapman will do it for a LONG time

And Kimbrel won't?

Chapman's arm will fall off within 3 years

Kimbrel was really under rated this year
