2.1 HR/9

Gavin Williams has allowed 18 home runs in 77.1 innings this season — 2.1 per nine, against a league rate near 1.25. His ERA is 4.07. ERA is the number everyone quotes and it is the wrong one for a home run market: a low-ERA fly-ball pitcher gives up more homers than a higher-ERA groundballer, and ERA cannot tell them apart.
