Andre Granillo or Nick Raquet? The MLB Stat Breakdown

This is as close as it gets. Andre Granillo and Nick Raquet split the statistical categories evenly — 2 apiece — making this one of the most genuinely contested RP comparisons in MLB history. When the numbers are this balanced, the debate comes down to which statistics matter most to you.

Andre Granillo's Innings Pitched of 30.1 compared to Nick Raquet's 5.2 represents a 478.8% advantage — dramatically better than their counterpart in this critical category. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Andre Granillo's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is ERA, where Andre Granillo posts 6.23 against Nick Raquet's 4.76 — a gap of just 30.9%. Nick Raquet can point to this as evidence that the overall comparison is closer than the final 2-2 tally suggests. In any debate, ERA is the statistical ammunition for the Nick Raquet side.

Relief pitching is evaluated differently than starting pitching — ERA and saves matter most for closers, while WHIP and strikeout rate define setup men. Career totals reflect longevity in a high-stress role.

With categories split evenly, this comparison ultimately comes down to which statistics matter most to you. Andre Granillo claims the tiebreaker through Innings Pitched advantage — a 478.8% edge — but reasonable people can, and do, argue both sides of this MLB debate.
