Walker Buehler's decline post-2021 is significant, marked by injuries and an alarming loss of swing-and-miss capabilities, particularly with his 4-seam fastball.
Despite posting solid exit velocities, Buehler's contact issues highlight a troubling trend of hitters making more contact against him while swinging less.
Buehler had the sixth-worst chase rate of starting pitchers since 2021, showing a concerning inability to generate swings and misses.
His 2024 season has been particularly poor, with a 9.8% PutAway rate on his fastball, a drastic drop from his previously effective performance.
