How is Michael King performing?
Michael King is a volume starter who prioritizes innings over strikeouts. Across 7 starts, he's averaged 5.4 innings per outing, consistently eating work and limiting bullpen strain. His 21.9% strikeout rate is moderate, but a 26.6% whiff rate indicates he's generating weak contact through movement and sequencing rather than pure velocity. The profile is built on reliability and workload management, not dominant stuff.
