Revisiting May Goals

Pitch 6 to 7 innings per start. Leake pitched a high of 8 innings on April 9th at St. Louis

Try to allow no more than 5 hits per start. Leake did allow less than 5 times 3 times in the month of April

Only allowed less than 5 hits in one start

Allowing runs is a normal thing to do as a pitcher, but 3 or less is good for Leake. Leake allowed 3 or less in back to back starts against St. Louis and Pittsburgh on April 9th and 15th.

Allowed 4 runs in one start, one unearned run in that equates to 3 earned runs 1 run in 2 starts 2 runs in 3 starts

Leake has been very good at allowing no walks. The goal is to allow no more than 1 walk per game, he has done it twice in back to back starts against St. Louis and Pittsburgh on April 9th and 15th.

Allowed one walk in 3 starts Allowed two walks in 3 starts

One thing Leake has to work on is getting strikeouts. The goal is 4 per start. He has thrown more than 4 strikeouts in a start, which was on April 15th against the Pirates.

GOAL ACHIEVED 4 strikeouts in 3 starts 5 strikeouts in 2 starts 8 strikeouts in 1 start
