Zack Greinke at a glance

Last update: September 24, 2009 - 11:34 PM

Signed: First-round pick of the Royals in 2002

2009 first half: Went 10-5 with a 2.12 ERA

2009 second half: Is 5-3 with a 2.02 ERA

What might have been? KC has scored two or fewer runs in 12 of his starts.

Cy Young case: Leads the American League in ERA (2.08), shutouts (3), opponents' batting average (.228), opponents' on- base percentage (.272) and opponents' on-base-plus-slugging percentage (.608).

Fighting back: Greinke pitched only three games in 2006 after being diagnosed in February of that year with social anxiety disorder and depression.

Did you know? He was caught by Joe Mauer in the 2003 Futures Game.

Update: He was ejected from Thursday night's game for yelling from the bench while teammate Anthony Lerew pitched against the Red Sox.
