I haven't read the entire article yet, but so far it's a good read.

it's goes into detail about how batters refuse to swing against Marmol.

Conclusion: Carlos Marmol turns men into women...the reason they dont swing is because they are afraid or just plain waiting for a ball/walk. He has the highest called strikes AND #9 swing strike rate. I bet if they werent such women they would whiff even more.

His stuff is OFF the charts. I love me some marmol and would love me some more in 2011.
