Josh Banks pitches for the San Diego Padres as a starter and a reliever. Over the last three seasons he’s pitched in the minors and got called up to the majors with the same results. He posts excellent strikeout and walk numbers in the minors, then his walks go way up and his strikeouts go way down. For his career, he strikes out 7.2 per nine and walks 1.6 per nine in the minors, 4.2 and 3.0 in the majors. His major league walk rate is fine, but not with that low a K rate. Until he starts striking out batters in the majors, he won’t have a steady job for the Padres.
