Yusei Kikuchi has experienced significant lack of offensive support this season. On average, he has received about 2.73 runs of support per game, which is well below the league average.
This lack of offensive production has been a factor in his limited win count despite his solid performance on the mound. His ERA stands at a tremendous 2.60, and he leads the team in strikeouts with 55, but the low run support has resulted in fewer wins.
