New Pitching Stat

Non sabermetric-fags invited. Okay, pitching statistics aren't as definitive as batting stats, we can agree on that.
xFIP/ tERA don't evaluate players as well as .wOBA does.

So why not use the pitch count for rating effectiveness? Managers take count of pitch count nowadays, it's been recorded since 2002.

Basically, [Total Number of Pitches / Total Number of Outs]

Computing is easy. Take the pitchers entire pitch count for that season. That's the numerator. For the number of outs recorded, take the whole number for innings pitched (everything before the decimal) and multiply by 3. Add the decimal as an interger. That's the denominator.

Here's some quick examples:

2008
Johan Santana: [3598 Pitches / 234.1 IP] = 3598 pitches / 703 Outs = 5.118 pitches per out.
Tim Lincecum: [3682 Pitches / 227 IP] = 3682 pitches / 682 Outs = 5.398 pitches per out.

2002
Greg Maddux: [2679 pitches / 199 IP] = 2679 pitches / 598 Outs = 4.479 pitches per out.
Randy Johnson: [3992 pitches / 260 IP] = 3992 pitches / 780 Outs = 5.117 pitches per out.
