Pitcher List on Rotographs: It’s Time For Nick Kingham

Nick Pollack showcases why Nick Kingham needs to be owned in all mixed leagues.

I’m writing about starting pitching for Rotographs and didn’t want the Pitcher List community to miss out on one of our signature GIF Breakdowns.

For the second week in a row, I’m going to bring up Chad Kuhl. After last week’s entertaining disappointment against the Diamondbacks, Kuhl was removed after four frames against the Mets on Tuesday with forearm discomfort.

I am not bringing up Kuhl in an act of self-depreciation, despite how often I rely on it. Rather, his potential longterm removal from the Pirates rotation means that Nick Kingham could soon hold a firm grip on the #5 spot in Pittsburgh.

I think you see where this is going. A pitcher that is currently owned in under 10% of fantasy leagues, an arm that with consistent playing time could return top-5o starting pitcher production, a rookie who holds a sub 1.00 WHIP, 24% strikeout rate, and 12% whiff rate may suddenly be getting a whole lot of playing time.

Let’s take a dive into what Kingham does on the field and how it could translate into a potential league-winning pickup.

    As a Pirates fan, I am both excited and troubled at the same time. One one hand, Kuhl was finally coming into his own and I think he is a legit mid-rotation guy. However, I am super-excited for Kingham and it looks like he will be coming up (possibly this weekend as he is no longer listed as the starter for Indy tomorrow night). I was able to get him back on my fantasy roster this morning and I’m hanging onto him.
