Here are Charlie's stats for his September stint with the Watchmakers:
Code:
1898 TEAM G GS W L Sv ERA IP H R ER HR BB K CG ShO ERA BABIP VORP
Canton 9 9 2 7 0 4.20 75.0 80 39 35 0 21 30 8 0 1.35 .320 -0.9
Granted, the team playing behind him was a nondescript bunch of tailenders, but Charlie didn't do much to make the situation better.
That BABIP was pretty nasty, so some of his difficulty might have been plain old bad luck.
Still, before we come down too hard on him, we have to remember that Charlie was barely eighteen. He demonstrated this year that he could dominate Township League hitters. Perhaps one day he'll do the same agains the tougher competition in the Buckeye circuit.
