Fielding percentage is flawed and would not work for your analysis.

Look into DIPS research done by Voros McCracken mostly. Most of the difference on batting average on ball in played allowed by pitchers is due to defense, randomness.

It's been proven that the DIPS ERA, which is comprised mostly of K, BB, and HR rates, is a better predictor of next year's ERA than ERA is. If you can follow what I'm saying.

Yeah, I got it. TY for the info, looking it up as we speak.
