Bryce Elder does not miss many bats, but he pitches long enough that the strikeouts add up anyway. Only 6.6 per nine innings — quiet on paper — but 5.5 innings a start over his last 15, 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.
