| %HQS/QS/Avg | 61% | 60% | 69% | 77% | 74% |
| %Poor/Blowup | 39% | 40% | 31% | 23% | 26% |
The 2011 SP are generally better (except for walks) than last year, but they still are only giving the team ~60% HQS/QS/Avg starts. They have increased HQS and reduced Average Starts. However they have a long way to go to match the 2010 Reds SP, or the 1992 Bucs.
The individual SP are below. A HQS/QS/Avg % of 74 would be average. So far only Maholm is average or better.
| Pitcher | Starts | HQS | QS | Avg | Poor | BlowUp | %HQS / QS / Avg |
| Correia | 6 | 33% | 33% | 0% | 17% | 17% | 67% |
| Karstans | 3 | 0% | 67% | 0% | 0% | 33% | 67% |
| Maholm | 6 | 17% | 33% | 33% | 0% | 17% | 83% |
| McDonald | 5 | 20% | 0% | 20% | 0% | 60% | 40% |
| Morton | 6 | 50% | 17% | 0% | 0% | 33% | 67% |
| Ohlendorf | 2 | 0% | 0% | 0% | 50% | 50% | 0% |
