KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Sabermetrics was very good to Dallas Keuchel last season, recognizing him as baseball's best groundball pitcher and playing a part in his selection as the AL's Gold Glove pitcher. "They have all different advanced stats now, like ground covered from the mound," Keuchel said Monday after pitching three innings for the Houston Astros in a 2-2 exhibition tie with an Atlanta Braves' split squad. "I actually talked to a few of the Sabermetrics guys at the awards ceremony in New York, and they were telling me all these stats that I had no idea about, and they said I was by far the top guy in that metric."
