Despite statistics that paint a significantly different picture, former Princeton basketball center and San Diego Padres starting pitcher Chris Young was not named to the 2007 National League All-Star team this evening.
Young is in the top three in the National League in nearly every important pitching statistic:
1st in Hits Per Nine Innings (6.42).
1st in Opponent Batting Average (.197).
2nd in Walks/Hits Per Innings Pitched (1.09).
2nd in Slugging (.280).
2nd in On-Base Against (.277).
3rd in ERA (2.14).
His numbers as a starting pitcher are stronger than those of All-Star selections Cole Hamels and John Smoltz. Compare them yourself, then shake your head.
