Koufax was league average outside of Chavez Ravine for his career. |
Better at home, no doubt, as is almost every Dodger who pitched in Chavez Ravine, but he was NOT league average away.
Career away numbers: 3.04 ERA .652 winning percentage (Pitching largely for a team that couldn't hit it's way out of a paper bag) 1.167 WHIP, over a strikeout per inning and remember those totals are "poisoned" by his lackluster years. In that 5 year stretch they're pretty damn dominant.
