Excerpt:
Not shown above are two pitchers' opponent slugging percentages. Willis is allowing batters to slug .395 against him, which is over 100 points higher than Webb's .294 opponent slugging percentage. In fact, not only is Webb's slugging percentage against about 34% better than Willis', it is the best opponent slugging percentage of any starting pitcher in all of major league baseball. Think about that for a minute
