10 Brayan Bello BOS at TBR x x 36 3.96 1.13 15% 22nd/25th Was hoping he’d be a consistent 6-7 IP guy to compensate for his modest K% rate, but he’s gone 6 just once 11 Jesús Luzardo MIA v MIL x x 37 5.02 1.25 18% 11th/2nd I’m a bit down on the Jesus Lizard right...
Williams lines up for another strong outing as he'll face an offense with the third-lowest wOBA and seventh-highest strikeout rate facing right-handers -- and one that might be diminished in favor of not starting some players in both games of a bad wea...
Key stat: 37.5% strikeout rate Bellatti was a former Rays prospect who spent nine months in jail more than a decade ago after a fatal car crash. He has worked his way all the way back, through several years in the Atlantic League, to have the best strikeout rate on Philly’s entire ...
and I think he’s going to rise even higher up draft boards come March. His potential is sky-high with that already nasty K-rate, but his low spin efficiency numbers (55% on the curveball and 35% on the slider) hints at the potential for further improvement. He also got better as ...
That two-pitch mix has served him well over the last couple of seasons, helping him to a 28.0 K-BB%. That rate is higher than that ofJacob deGromandShane Bieber. Of course, this was in many fewer innings than them and other great pitchers around the league. ...

Matt Mooreposts the peripheral stats to support last season's traditional metrics Manyanalstsare jumping off of the Moore bandwagon after his consecutive seasons of disappointing pitch command, including an 11.8 percent walk rate in 2013 that made his 3.29ERAlook fluky. His biggest weakness is ...
I hopeChristian Yelichis back to being something we can he happy about. The plate discipline looks good, and at this rate, he could be a 25/15 sort of guy, albeit with a mediocre batting average. No, Istilldon’t know what to do withCody Bellinger. After almost being ready to move...
6’6″ leftyGarrett Crochetsaw his velocity spike last year, which boosted his value on draft day. He has a solid three-pitch mix, with a fastball now in the upper 90s, and he’s pegged as a spin-rate darling as well. It’s noteworthy, though, he made just 13 total starts in thr...
