Dave Ford Pitching Stats — Era-Normalized Analysis

Baby Boomers Ohio Throws Right Bats Right North America Baltimore Orioles American League Relief Pitcher

Dave Ford was a command-first reliever whose effectiveness worked through precise location and walk avoidance, generating weak contact rather than overpowering hitters. The numbers show an ERA+ of 73 (below-average run prevention), and exceptional walk avoidance. A DICE+ of 97 suggests the underlying, defense-independent skill was even stronger than the ERA alone indicates.
