K/9... Too Low?

[The Kid 24]

Does anyone think the K/9 numbers are a little low for Pitchers?

For example... Justin Verlander, Felix Hernandez, Max Scherzer (and I'm sure there's more) are 200 K's Pitchers but there K/9's are in the 70s?

Haven't checked the k/9 stats for pitchers but did notice very low strikeouts during Franchise mode. Only 1 pitcher in all the Majors threw for 200k (Colby Lewis) .. Verlander had 224IP with 158K .. Felix had 179 with 217IP

If verlander and felix werent getting close to 200 k's then yeah thats definitely too low. they are 200+ K guys every year.

Yeah, I noticed this as well. I've got a franchise going as the Nationals where I'm playing out Strasburg's starts and simming the rest, so I've only gotten as far as early May. But there are a bunch of stud pitchers with less than 20 K despite having between five and six starts, which seems very low to me.
