Great answers! I'm an OBP guy as well. I hadn't thought about K-BB% for pitchers but it's a good one. I'd lean WHIP there, but that's just my gray hair talking. Also like OAA best for defense, but there's a lot of work to be done there. Thanks for the shout-out!

There was chatter in spring training about Loftin finding a new level in exit velo. Has he maintained that or had it disappeared? Not sure what the data range on that chart is

True, he was hitting the ball harder in ST. Back to his career norms in Triple-A, unfortunately, at 88 mph average EV.

That's a bummer. I like his versatility.
