My wife has used game changer for several years. So we have looked at these stats for a few pitchers over those seasons. Pitches per inning for successful pitchers tend to be under 16. Bear in mind a strike out pitcher might run a bit higher then one who induces a lot of ground outs. Also 65% strikes seems to be the magic number much higher and it seems batting average against goes up much lower and walks be one an issue.
A key number is first pitch strikes the likelihood of walking a batter after a first pitch strike goes way down and getting her out goes way up. One number to ignore seems to be pitches per batter I find the pitchers with the lowest pitches per batter are the ones serving up cookies early in the count.
