Steve Howe vs. Robin Roberts — Career Comparison

Robin Roberts built a career as a starting pitcher and Steve Howe as a reliever — different jobs with different demands — but on the metrics that apply to both, a comparison is still worth making. Steve Howe led in home run suppression (HR9+ 185 vs 76), run prevention (ERA+ 103 vs 88), and skill-based run prevention (DICE+ 105 vs 93). Robin Roberts held the edge in walk avoidance (BB%+ 166 vs 154). Keeping the role difference in mind, the edge still goes to Steve Howe.
