I think its difficult to just look at a few statistics and make conclusions about "effectiveness". Pitching performance is highly complex and stats don't necessarily measure everything such as attitude, resiliency, confidence, competitiveness, level of competition, environmental factors (conditions of field, temp, does she pitch in relief or as a starter, who's her catcher #3?, does she only pitch in pool play, etc).
With that said: there is definitely a correlation between "effective" pitchers and low ERA, low WHIP, high K/BB ratio, and # of pitches per inning.
