moore did have a tendency to be wild, as he gave up 300 walks in just 599.2 innings pitched, for a bb/9ip of 4.50, much higher than the american league average at that time. often, a pitcher who walks a lot of batters strikes out a lot, too, but that wasn't the case with moore. with 278 strikeouts, his k/9ip was 4.17, which was lower than the american league average.
