Colorado Rockies: Bud Black talks about high walk rates

The Rockies pitching staff has walked 348 batters entering Sunday, which is fifth-worst in all of baseball. This equates to 3.5 walks per nine innings. This is particularly bad for pitchers Adam Ottavino, Tyler Chatwood, Mike Dunn, Greg Holland, Scott Oberg, and Jon Gray as they average 6.4, 5.1, 5.1, 4.4, 4.0, and 3.9 walks per nine innings. You might notice that these numbers are high for relievers (which we have discussed the Rockies improving the bullpen before the trade deadline in a bevy of articles in the past weeks).
