Who is getting Squeezed?
Time to check in on which pitchers aren't getting the close calls from umpires:
C.J. Wilson (TEX) ranks number one in terms of the most pitches called balls in the strike zone with 124. But this is due to volume; Wilson has thrown the second most pitches within the strike zone in the majors this season behind only Cliff Lee (PHI).
Doug Fister (SEA) and Cliff Lee rank second and third in most missed strikes with 114 and 108 respectively. Chad Billingsley (LAD) comes in 4th with 107 missed strikes - combine that with his overall 17th ranking in lowest called strike percentage in the zone, and he's a good candidate for the most squeezed pitcher in baseball this season.
