Attached are the pitcher's stats and ratings. Also ratings for two similar low-stamina pitchers that are younger (one is in his third season and the other in his second) that could be headed in the same direction.

Two things jump out to me. His K rate had been slowly declining heading into this year, and now his BB rate is way up. I'd wait to see if things even out after another half dozen starts before starting to worry too much. With such a low K rate, he's going to struggle to win games if he keeps allowing so many baserunners. It looks like he's pitching like he did in 1951, so it shouldn't be a total surprise, though.
