Hayden Wesneski does not miss many bats, but he pitches long enough that the strikeouts add up anyway. Only 7.3 per nine innings — quiet on paper — but 5.6 innings a start over his last 4, and he routinely faces the lineup a third time. Volume gets him where a harder thrower on a short leash cannot, and a strikeout line priced off his rate alone misses it.
