I checked and ESPN does not list pitches thrown in their tables so I would have to open each individual player's page to see their pitch count over their season so far and divide it by their innings pitched to really know for sure. I wasn't willing to do that.

But luckily for me, MLB.com does have an expanded stats section to their stat pages and one of those stats is P/IP.
https://www.mlb.com/stats/pitching/pitches-per-inning?expanded=true

Right now, through 4 starts. Hunter Greene is throwing 19.45 pitches per inning, on average.

That's 2nd worst in the major leagues, behind someone named Patrick Sandoval for the LA Angels, who is throwing 20.02 pitchers per inning, on average.

And Frankie Montas isn't much better. He's throwing 18.38 pitches per inning, on average. That's good for 9th in MLB.

Hunter and Montas need to get their (stuff) together, and fast. We can't afford our #1 and #2 pitchers to be laboring like this every start.

Thanks CJD

I Knew Greene was bad but I didn't think he was that bad, wow ! Every game that goes by for him I get a little more worried he's going to be a flop. As a starting pitcher anyways. Like somebody said in another thread he may have to go to the bullpen? Closer or set up guy?? He might be way more effective only pitching one or two innings?

Montas has really fell off after those first two starts. Hoping he can turn it back around. And hoping Lodolo can stay healthy and pick us up some.
