Johnny Venters, relief pitcher for the Braves, has only given up 1 home run in his first 115 2/3 innings pitched in the majors. THe league average would have him giving up about 14 by now. Venters also has only given up 13 hits (no homers) in 32 2/3 innings pitched so far this year. He'll make a mighty good closer soon if he keeps it up.
Meanwhile, Aroldis Chapman, he of the 10 or so MPH fastball, has yet to give up a homer in 26 1/3 innings. Control is an issue, though, as he has walked 25 in those 26 1/3 innings over last year and this.
