There are reasons to like Siegrist, don't get me wrong. His stuff is disgusting and coming from a lefty it's almost unrivaled. He's damn near impossible to hit when he puts the ball in the strike zone.
But don't go making up strengths. Siegrist nibbles a LOT and he walks entirely too many batters. "Throws strikes" is most certainly not on his scouting report. Siegrist is ultimately worse than any pitcher on our staff at throwing strikes. He's probably among the worst in the national league.

I knew his WHIP was sub 1.00 (0.87) but didn't realize it was mostly walks so I get your point.
