Paul Abbott vs. Pedro Baez — Career Comparison

Paul Abbott built a career as a starting pitcher and Pedro Baez as a reliever — different jobs with different demands — but on the metrics that apply to both, a comparison is still worth making. Pedro Baez led in walk avoidance (BB%+ 119 vs 76), skill-based run prevention (DICE+ 123 vs 92), and home run suppression (HR9+ 129 vs 102). Role difference aside, Pedro Baez holds a clear edge on every meaningful shared measure.
