Welcome to the SP Roundup, my daily fantasy baseball article reviewing every starting pitcher’s performance from every Friday game. I apologize for the jokes written in my delirium in advance. Have questions? Ask me during my office hours on Twitch.tv weekday mornings from 10 am-12 pm ET.
Brandon Young (BAL) @ TOR (W) – 6.1 IP, 3 ER, 7 Hits, 0 BBs, 4 Ks – 8 Whiffs, 28% CSW, 85 pitches.
Not every pitcher needs a complete arsenal to find consistent success. More often than not, a reliable heater can be a stable base on which the rest of a cromulent arsenal can balance. Brandon Young fits that description, and after another successful start in Toronto, where he turned in 6.1 IP, 3 ER, 7 Hits, 0 BBs, 4 Ks – 8 Whiffs, 28% CSW, 85 pitches (W), he’s forced us to give him some attention.
That marks three consecutive outings in which Young has pitched into the seventh, and the sixth consecutive in which he’s allowed three runs or fewer. In fact, out of nine starts, he’s allowed more than three earned runs just once, pitching to a 2.98 ERA in the eight good ones.
Young fits the mold of a pitcher with an elite heater supported by unremarkable breakers, showcasing a 93-96 mph four-seamer with top of the line 17-19″ of iVB and a decent flat 0.9 HAVAA. Other pitchers who come to mind when I think of this archetype are Joe Ryan, Bryce Miller, Ryne Nelson, and Sean Burke. Those righties have a range of success, mostly dependent on their ability to improve their secondaries throughout their careers.
Young is on the lower end, closest to Burke, as he’s yet to find that consistent sidekick to his hero heater, leading to a below-average 9.1 H/9 and 18% strikeout rate. Batters can key in on his heaters without the threat of his run-of-the-mill secondaries overwhelming them inside the zone or earning whiffs out of it. It puts a lot of pressure on his heater that it can’t handle on its own.
In Toronto on Friday, Young’s slider stepped up vs RHB, and his splitters did the same vs LHB, both returning strike rates north of 70%. The breakers could be broken into three categories: the ones he threw well that turned into whiffs, the ones he bounced that were uncompetitive, and the ones he hung over the plate. The well-placed ones induced four whiffs, but the hung ones turned into a trio of hits, including the lone long ball on the day, which accounted for two of the runs against him.
The splitter failed to carry the upside the slider did, inducing just one whiff, as it was more of a ground ball machine, producing 7/8 outs on balls in play with 63% grounders. There’s also a sinker that mixes in for strikes against RHB and a slow curve that looks to sneak in for called strikes, but they’re mostly ancillary offerings looking to clean up the edges of a good start.
It’s clear at this point that Young’s heater is enough to give him a good shot at a win and/or quality start each time out, but his secondaries prevent him from reaching the ceiling at which his contemporaries have hinted. We need to see him effectively locate sliders and splitters to avoid consistent damage, find some whiffs, and ultimately elevate that heater to the upper echelon in which it belongs. We haven’t seen him do that for two years, and at 27-years-old, he’s not a young moldable arm. I like him in quality start, points, and 15-team leagues where his volume is more appreciated, but in standard 12-teamers, the upside proposition isn’t worth holding (he’s maxed out at seven strikeouts). However, I’m totally down to stream him for SEA x2 before he heads to Hollywood for a clear avoid. (View Game Card)
Let’s see how every other SP did Friday:
Drew Rasmussen (TBR) @ MIA (W) – 7.0 IP, 0 ER, 1 Hits, 0 BBs, 9 Ks – 10 Whiffs, 30% CSW, 87 pitches.
That’s a season-high nine Ks, and you best believe it was because he finally figured out that changeup. Didn’t he bounce a few? Yeah, and it worked! The slowball returned a third of his strikeouts on the night, and despite some located well below the zone, they had batters chasing. When they weren’t being dope like that, they consistently found the zone for 67% strikes. I’ve been touting this pitch as the one that would unlock his strikeout potential. The Rays obviously felt the same way, continuing to encourage him to throw it despite a lack of feel throughout the first two months. Rasmussen is now even more dope with a legit whiff offering to support his overwhelming heaters. (View Game Card)
Roki Sasaki (LAD) vs LAA (ND) – 7.0 IP, 0 ER, 2 Hits, 2 BBs, 10 Ks – 17 Whiffs, 39% CSW, 98 pitches.
ROKIII! Thank you so much for rewarding my faith in you! This was one of the first guys I’ve staked my claim on, underlining his new changes that point to multiple paths to success. After taking down the Phillies, I expected this to be the start that earned everyone’s attention, and boy, did he blow past my expectations! That’s a Golden Goal as he did the thing! What thing? He combined multiple paths to success in one start on his way to domination. We didn’t just get increased four-seamer velo (98-99 mph) with improved shape (17″ iVB), or harder splitters (90-91 mph), or a willingness to go BSB with sliders low. We got all three. Heaters avoided damage in the zone while splitters and sliders racked up the whiffs, with 10 and six, respectively, while combining for 46% CSW. This is the ace we envisioned when Sasaki made his way from NPB across the Pacific to MLB. Pick him up everywhere. (View Game Card)
Reid Detmers (LAA) @ LAD (ND) – 6.0 IP, 0 ER, 2 Hits, 2 BBs, 6 Ks – 14 Whiffs, 33% CSW, 91 pitches.
Detmers showed up to Hollywood unintimidated by the All-Star-laden lineup with which he was faced. The heat was turned up on his four-seamer, as he sat a tick up at 95 mph, allowing it to overwhelm in the zone often, leading to a whopping 11 whiffs. Koufax must’ve been impressed by Detmers’ determination, allowing him to get away with 11/13 outs on balls in play despite a lack of feel for the rest of his arsenal. Oh no. Oh no is right. The slider command has disappeared again, and with the changeup and curveball feel having never shown up, his secondaries combined for just 47% strikes. The gassed-up fastball made up for it here, but I don’t expect that to be the case moving forward. Detmers has proven incapable of maintaining a prolonged feel for his slider and has failed to find the backup weapons to make up for it, leading to inconsistency and underwhelming performances as a full-season starter. Now’s the time to sell high. (View Game Card)
Christian Scott (NYM) @ SDP (W) – 5.2 IP, 0 ER, 3 Hits, 2 BBs, 3 Ks – 9 Whiffs, 32% CSW, 98 pitches.
You’re getting there, buddy! Scott’s four-seamer and sweeper combo is doing its best to carry him, but he’s making progress with his tertiary offerings as well. Cutters constantly landed gloveside, returning 78% strikes and 33% CSW, but he only threw nine of them. I don’t blame him, as his one-two punch has carried him recently, with three straight outings of at least five frames while allowing just one total run between them. You can do better than that, bro! There’s a higher ceiling for Scott to reach if he has that cutter acting as a strike pitch to set up his four-seamer, inducing whiffs upstairs vs LHB, allowing the sweeper (less effective to opposite-handed batters) to take a back seat. In concert with four-seamers, cutters can be more of a bridge pitch against RHB, keeping batters off his sweeper. I have faith Scott will ultimately get there, and regardless, he’s proven a worthy Streamer in the meantime. (View Game Card)
Robbie Ray (SFG) @ CHC (W) – 5.0 IP, 0 ER, 2 Hits, 5 BBs, 4 Ks – 15 Whiffs, 25% CSW, 97 pitches.
Following Ray’s inefficient start in Coors, my wishlist included pulling off the BSB and returning at least 55% strikes on all of his offerings. We got like a third of the way there. While he did get four-seamers up and changeups low, fastballs (including sinkers) were too far up, and sliders didn’t join the slowball downstairs. The uncompetitive locations of fastballs and sliders directly correlate with a combined 51% strike rate between the trio of offerings, as they also accounted for all of the walks. How did he get away without allowing a run? Well, nobody crossed home plate. Don’t get smart with me! A fellow southpaw, Ray was saved by Koufax, returning 10 outs on 12 balls in play. His changeup also dominated RHB for six whiffs and 82% strikes, allowing him to avoid more contact than the rest of his arsenal allowed. Ray is clearly not fixed and is now tasked with facing a Nationals squad that ranks second in the Majors with a 120 wRC+ against southpaws. (View Game Card)
Ryan Feltner (COL) vs MIL (ND) – 6.0 IP, 1 ER, 1 Hits, 2 BBs, 4 Ks – 8 Whiffs, 28% CSW, 81 pitches.
It’s hard for me to believe that any pitcher can consistently survive Coors, but with just one total run allowed in consecutive six-inning starts in the Mile High City, Feltner is giving Tinkerbell vibes. The thing is, Peter Pan hasn’t given me any reasons to believe in Tink. Feltner faced a LHB-heavy lineup, and instead of leaning on changeups, he continued to throw four-seamers and sliders 60% of the time. But it worked. Yeah, but only by the grace of Koufax. He went 14/15 outs on balls in play as he got away with filling up the zone (67% zone rate on four-seamers and sliders). That approach returned plenty of strikes (73% strikes between them), forcing batters into action, but the lack of intent or command was obvious. Sorry, Tink, the fairy dust is bound to wear off vs CHC next. (View Game Card)
Peter Lambert (HOU) vs ATH (W) – 5.1 IP, 1 ER, 5 Hits, 4 BBs, 4 Ks – 12 Whiffs, 29% CSW, 94 pitches.
Lambert deserved so much better here. His command was on point, as he nailed his approach to RHB, jamming them with sinkers, keeping changeups low, and dotting sliders away. If only he had found a way to get his four-seamer upstairs, he would’ve hit all four quadrants. He got it up against LHB, but it was a little too far up, while changeups were a little too low, and cutters were a little all over the place. That trio combined for a little 49% strike rate against LHB. We’ve been waiting for Lambert to pair secondary command with his solid fastballs. It almost worked here, and I’m expecting it to stick, allowing him to dominate @LAA next. Target that as a probably start stream. (View Game Card)
Framber Valdez (DET) vs SEA (W) – 5.0 IP, 1 ER, 5 Hits, 2 BBs, 5 Ks – 9 Whiffs, 27% CSW, 102 pitches.
The rule is that Valdez goes as his curveball goes. So, how did he pitch so well with the hook returning sub-60% strikes and just 21% CSW? Called strikes on sinkers. The Mariners were passive, letting him get away with stealing 14 called strikes on his heater. When they did put it in play, it was 64% ground balls, allowing the strong Tigers’ infield defense to limit the damage. He should’ve been punished more for his lack of command, but as Valdez managers, we’re not going to get angry when the ground ball machine does his thing. (View Game Card)
Foster Griffin (WSN) @ ARI (W) – 5.0 IP, 1 ER, 2 Hits, 0 BBs, 4 Ks – 8 Whiffs, 35% CSW, 62 pitches.
I discovered the link between Foster Griffin and me being a Foothill Griffin. His 3.63 ERA is a replica of my middle school GPA! The southpaw has been perfectly fine across his last three starts after a pair of blowups, but it’s clear he’s home run-prone when he doesn’t locate precisely. The Nationals may be aware of that as well, preventing him from facing the lineup a third time. I think that’s more a product of them not wanting to tire him out in a game they were leading by 11 entering the bottom of the sixth. (View Game Card)
Brady Singer (CIN) @ STL (L) – 4.0 IP, 1 ER, 4 Hits, 3 BBs, 6 Ks – 9 Whiffs, 29% CSW, 89 pitches.
That’s the wrong song, Mr. Singer! You teased me with 12% cutters last time, but reverted to sinkers and breakers 94% of the time here. It makes no sense. That song is overplayed and fails to land on the charts, while cutters are new and exciting. They even landed gloveside every time and led your arsenal with 80% strikes. Please just give it a try, so we can give you a try on our fantasy teams. I need a new banger to play in the car on my way to the grocery store. (View Game Card)
Zebby Matthews (MIN) vs KCR (W) – 7.0 IP, 2 ER, 5 Hits, 4 BBs, 2 Ks – 6 Whiffs, 23% CSW, 100 pitches.
Matthews is still working on his command, hence the four walks as a result of a sub-57% strike rate and a loss of focus with heaters in three-ball counts. However, the slider locations were much better. Not the hangers that got sent over the wall in his last start, but legit low breakers, accounting for five of his six whiffs. The lack of command and heavy reliance on balls in play (16/21 outs on balls in play) has me wary of putting all my faith in him (I have to save some for everyone else!), but the efficiency and long leash from the Twins make him someone we can’t just ignore. (View Game Card)
Kumar Rocker (TEX) vs CLE (ND) – 5.0 IP, 2 ER, 6 Hits, 1 BBs, 5 Ks – 9 Whiffs, 21% CSW, 94 pitches.
The Rockerstar is going full BSB, and it’s making his success weirdly sustainable. I know, I know. Rocker? Sustainable? We haven’t seen those two words in the same sentence without the prefix “un” breaking things up. But we also haven’t seen him pull off this approach before. It’s always been an east-west intent with sinkers and sliders, as cutters rarely mixed in. This was sliders landing almost exclusively low, with sinkers, cutters, and four-seamers climbing to the top half of the zone. Breakers were a little too far out of the zone, but sometimes you gotta fish for whiffs. Fastballs weren’t very enticing upstairs, but sometimes you gotta hunt for strikes. Surviving is about taking what you can get while avoiding getting taken out by predatory bats. The flying kind? The swinging kind. With a sub-2.00 ERA across his last five starts and an approach we can hang our hats on, Rocker is climbing up the streamer ranks, slowly but surely. (View Game Card)
Sonny Gray (BOS) @ NYY (W) – 6.1 IP, 3 ER, 8 Hits, 2 BBs, 3 Ks – 8 Whiffs, 29% CSW, 79 pitches.
We’re trying to enjoy the Sonny weather with our quality start and win, but the menacing Gray clouds are approaching. Is it about to rain? Those ratios and strikeouts forecast rain @TBR next. Good thing the stadium is domed. Good point. I guess we’re safe starting him there. (View Game Card)
Parker Messick (CLE) @ TEX (L) – 5.2 IP, 3 ER, 5 Hits, 1 BBs, 4 Ks – 12 Whiffs, 29% CSW, 85 pitches.
Messick was cruising through five frames before a pair of homers knocked in all three runs against him, as he failed to escape the frame and was handed a Philly. The ERA sucks, and the strikeouts aren’t impressive, but we’ll take the great WHIP and be happy he didn’t get roughed up more while sitting a tick down on everything. With Aaron Judge out indefinitely, don’t be afraid to start Messick vs NYY next. (View Game Card)
Martín Pérez (ATL) vs PIT (W) – 5.0 IP, 3 ER, 3 Hits, 2 BBs, 5 Ks – 11 Whiffs, 29% CSW, 85 pitches.
The Vargas Rule continues. This is some Braves devil magic. I think it’s the same spell they used on Jesse Chavez that made him pitch terribly for everyone but them post-pandemic. Whatever it is, it’s allowed Pérez to command beautifully for 13 outings this year, leading to success even when he’s sitting 2+ ticks down on everything. That’s a 3.02 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 21% strikeout rate across 56.2 innings pitched. Just unreal. (View Game Card)
Brandon Sproat (MIL) @ COL (ND) – 5.0 IP, 3 ER, 7 Hits, 2 BBs, 2 Ks – 6 Whiffs, 17% CSW, 87 pitches.
If you thought Sproat was going to fix himself inside Coors, I would like to borrow some of your optimism. His inefficiency with his fastball trio has been astounding, as this was just the fourth time in 12 appearances that he’s completed five frames this year. I don’t know if I should question him or the Brewers more for failing to emphasize his breakers, or really try anything new, to get him out of this slump. It’s another tough draw in Sacré Verde next, and I don’t expect him to turn things around there either. (View Game Card)
Tyler Phillips (MIA) vs TBR (ND) – 4.2 IP, 3 ER, 7 Hits, 3 BBs, 3 Ks – 7 Whiffs, 28% CSW, 82 pitches.
The TP starting experiment is over as soon as it began, as he was opened for with two innings of three-run ball from Ryan Gusto. The TP starting experiment is also reminding me that I need to go to the store to stock up on TP. Phillips has a sinker with plenty of run, and his trio of secondaries carries potential (especially the breakers), but he hasn’t displayed good enough command to survive a lineup more than two times through. While there’s a chance Phillips puts it all together with sinker strikes and breaker whiffs, the Pirates up next pack a punch against righties. (View Game Card)
Kyle Leahy (STL) vs CIN (ND) – 4.0 IP, 3 ER, 5 Hits, 2 BBs, 1 Ks – 4 Whiffs, 23% CSW, 79 pitches.
Why don’t you try extending your extension? That might do the trick. Okay! No, I didn’t actually mean…ugh. Leahy increased his extension to 7.4 feet on his four-seamer, leading to even more control problems. The expansion of his arsenal, throwing all of his pitches between 10% and 22% of the time, hasn’t worked out. HAISTBMBWT?! None of his offerings stand out, and I guess that’s the point, but it leads to a whole lot of meh. This nice homemade sourdough deserves more! (View Game Card)
Michael King (SDP) vs NYM (L) – 6.0 IP, 4 ER, 6 Hits, 0 BBs, 4 Ks – 8 Whiffs, 24% CSW, 93 pitches.
That’s now three straight starts with at least four earned runs against King, as not even the Mets could fix him. It was really just one bad start in which he lost his command. The second was domination, followed by a Careful, Icarus. This was just a pair of longballs that accounted for 75% of the runs against him. Yes, he deserved the dingers, leaving a changeup and sinker over the heart of the plate. I guess that clear lack of precision is where his struggles lie. I trust King to return to dotting the edges and hitting all quadrants of the zone like he does when he’s at his best. Hopefully, the Padres rolling out the Reds Carpet does the trick. (View Game Card)
Michael Wacha (KCR) @ MIN (L) – 5.2 IP, 4 ER, 8 Hits, 0 BBs, 2 Ks – 8 Whiffs, 22% CSW, 77 pitches.
Don’t get mad, but maybe the hot streak isn’t over quite yet. Last time Wacha got blown up for six runs, he followed it up with a four-run outing before going on a five-start streak with a 2.18 ERA. This is now the second time we’ve seen Wacha follow up a six-run blowup with a four-run start. I’m not sold he’s going to get back on track right away like last time, though. His slider hung out over the middle way too much, and he lost the feel for his changeup, leading to a 57% strike rate. Four-seamers are still avoiding damage in the zone with elite 18-19″ of vert, but that’s not enough to carry him without the secondary command returning. Don’t count it out vs TEX next. Don’t count it in either. What is this? The reverse-Hokey Pokey? (View Game Card)
Bryan Woo (SEA) @ DET (L) – 6.1 IP, 5 ER, 9 Hits, 0 BBs, 7 Ks – 12 Whiffs, 29% CSW, 90 pitches.
Woo is acting more like a Cherry Bomb than the trustworthy ace we got last year. He’s had five starts with three or more runs allowed and eight returning two runs or fewer. I’m not willing to officially tag him with that label, as two of the bad ones were driven by unreal home run luck, and this one was similarly unfortunate BABIP luck. The Tigers managed a .450 BABIP against him and made this one of just three starts in which Woo has allowed a dinger. I’m inclined to write this one off and expect more ace-like performances moving forward. (View Game Card)
Ryan Weathers (NYY) vs BOS (L) – 6.0 IP, 5 ER, 7 Hits, 1 BBs, 4 Ks – 8 Whiffs, 27% CSW, 93 pitches.
It seems to all be falling apart for Weathers, who’s allowed exactly five runs in three of his last four starts. The home runs are coming in bunches, and the comparison t0 Jesús Luzardo is starting to look more and more accurate. His command is starting to waver as he approaches his career-high in innings pitched. Fatigue is starting to set in, and while the strikeout upside remains as his stuff isn’t diminished, the lack of command will lead to shorter outings and more blow-ups. Good thing Max Fried isn’t close to returning yet, so he’ll have some runway to get back on track and lock in his rotation spot. As long as he’s healthy, I’m hopeful he can figure things out. (View Game Card)
Jesús Luzardo (PHI) vs CHW (ND) – 6.0 IP, 5 ER, 7 Hits, 2 BBs, 2 Ks – 9 Whiffs, 29% CSW, 90 pitches.
What are you looking at me for?! Weathers is modeling his game after yours, and you allowed five runs on seven hits in six innings! Yeah, but I allowed more home runs and struck out fewer batters. That’s not something you should be proud of. Luzardo is a Cherry Bomb, and they can’t all be sweet. (View Game Card)
Jack Perkins (ATH) @ HOU (L) – 4.0 IP, 5 ER, 5 Hits, 2 BBs, 6 Ks – 13 Whiffs, 28% CSW, 75 pitches.
There was a time when Perkins looked like the closer for the A’s, but I’ve claimed he’s had Ben Brown syndrome multiple times. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. It just means that his club is unwilling to give up on him as a starter despite an arsenal and skillset better-suited for a one-inning, max-effort role. Perkins went 78% sweepers and four-seamers, but there was a clear split between classic sweepers and gyro sliders that Savant didn’t pick up. The breakers were whiff machines regardless of their classification, and his solid two-plane heater kept him competitive. Unfortunately, a three-run homer in the first set him back immediately. The Astros didn’t test his ability to handle LHB, but 43% strikes on cutters and changeups have me worried for the lineup that does. The four-seamer and breakers are great, but the lack of arsenal depth will cause him trouble against more diverse lineups. (View Game Card)
Trey Yesavage (TOR) vs BAL (L) – 5.2 IP, 6 ER, 5 Hits, 2 BBs, 5 Ks – 12 Whiffs, 29% CSW, 91 pitches.
The high-highs of Yesavage’s skillset were apparent after allowing just three total runs through his first five starts of the year. Now, the low-lows are apparent, as he’s allowed 12 total runs and 11 total walks across his last three starts. The volatility of an arsenal reliant on splitters is perilous, and unless Yesavage can show the consistency teammate Kevin Gausman has, it’s going to be a year of ups and downs. Didn’t he throw five innings of one-run ball before falling apart in the sixth? That’s correct. He allowed five runs while failing to complete a disastrous sixth frame. However, that shouldn’t take away from the splitter’s 52% strike rate. It also acted as the catalyst for that blowup, as he couldn’t command it in an at-bat against Gunnar Henderson, leading to a walk, then was afraid to turn to it again. That forced him to throw exclusively four-seamers and sliders in the zone to the next four batters he faced, going single, strikeout, single, homer. The splitter is his best pitch, and he becomes very hittable without it. Flip the coin he recovers it for a full start vs NYY next. (View Game Card)
Mitch Keller (PIT) @ ATL (L) – 4.2 IP, 6 ER, 7 Hits, 3 BBs, 4 Ks – 9 Whiffs, 26% CSW, 99 pitches.
MKUltra’s mind control tactics don’t work when the schedule is so obviously bad, the only way you’d start him is if you forgot to set your lineup. Why is he on your team anyway? After this start against Hotlanta, he gets the Dodgers, then heads to Sacré Verde. See you on the other side. (View Game Card)
Anthony Kay (CHW) @ PHI (ND) – 4.0 IP, 6 ER, 7 Hits, 2 BBs, 4 Ks – 8 Whiffs, 17% CSW, 87 pitches.
Kay’s hot streak came to a predictable end in Philadelphia as he failed to recover his fastball feel or improve his stuff enough to survive in the zone. Now he gets Hotlanta before heading to the Bronx. Thanks for the good memories! (View Game Card)
Merrill Kelly (ARI) vs WSN (L) – 5.0 IP, 7 ER, 6 Hits, 3 BBs, 4 Ks – 11 Whiffs, 27% CSW, 85 pitches.
This felt like a good start for Kelly to bounce back from allowing 10 baserunners with just two Ks in Seattle last time. Hard to bounce back when the ball is bouncing beyond the fences. Kelly served up a trio of long balls, but only one came on a pitch in the zone. He didn’t have his best four-seamer locations, with some obvious donut command, but I’m inclined to believe the easy schedule ahead will allow him to get back on track, especially because he maintained the feel for his changeup. It’s @MIA, LAA, @STL next, and I’d hate to miss out on production there because of one bad outing after a string of great ones. (View Game Card)
Edward Cabrera (CHC) vs SFG (L) – 3.2 IP, 8 ER, 8 Hits, 1 BBs, 6 Ks – 12 Whiffs, 28% CSW, 80 pitches.
This was a Still ILL for Cabrera, who was returning from a blister on his finger. I hope you followed the rule, because despite sitting a tick up on everything with a solid feel for sinkers and changeups, nothing else was working, and Koufax did not have his back. Cabrera was as hittable as ever, allowing a ridiculously unlucky .615 BABIP and a trio of homers, accounting for all eight runs. Now he heads to Coors, and you can leave him on your wire until he gets Rockie Road afterward. Hopefully, we have more confidence starting him there. (View Game Card)
