Billingsley's Charts



At a mere glance, Billingsley did not appear to have skewness, but a somewhat more symmetrical distribution. Further, he did not fare as well with several shorter starts toward the end of the season. Nonetheless, Billingsley put together a decent performance, and for the most part displayed a general upward trend in game scores.

Starts: 16
Mean: 50.13
Min: 26
Q1: 40.75
Q2: 50
Q3: 58.5
Max: 79
P-Value: 0.686

Billingsley had the distinction of pitching the best game, by game score of any Dodger starter this season, topping Greg Maddux's masterful 8-inning performance on 68 pitches. Being 22 years old suggests that he will get better, as well. Especially considering how late in the season it was before his control finally started to look respectable.
