He also deserves a second Win and this is just getting silly now. You don’t normally see a Gold Starwhen facing the Tigers, but Lyles deserves that. Jordan Lyles (KC) vs DET (ND) – 6.0 IP, 0 ER, 3 Hits, 1 BBs, 4 Ks – 12 Whiffs, 30% CSW, 83 pitches. Hopefully he can have that growth this year inside the bigs. That might not happen until next season, but until then, he’s still worth the stash through the next poor matchup. Grayson has the tools to be a legit fantasy arm when he’s able to battle the batter more than himself, allowing him to sequence properly each time they step in the box. Wait for a better matchup than this one, even if it is an improvement from his April self. Up next are the Rays and I suggest benching him there, too. Meanwhile, the breakers returned a sub 50% strike rate between them, with Grayson mostly going fastball/change here. His four-seamer looks a bit more hittable than I’d like to see – just 4/45 whiffs despite the velocity can be attributed a touch to the Dodgers, but also possibly to the pitch itself – and the changeup is better at getting low, but certainly isn’t the precise pitch we want it to be. All of that said, there’s still polish left to be had. He was pumping 101 mph heaters in the first frame that came back down to 96-98 mph in subsequent frames, while he flashed some nice breakers and an occasional magnificent changeup. Grayson Rodriguezpitched well in his return to the big leagues via 5.0 IP, 4 ER, 7 Hits, 2 BBs, 4 Ks – 10 Whiffs, 30% CSW, 91 pitches. We saw a much more electric arm than we did before and the potential is ready to soar in due time. Grayson Rodriguez (BAL) vs LAD (ND) – 5.0 IP, 4 ER, 7 Hits, 2 BBs, 4 Ks – 10 Whiffs, 30% CSW, 91 pitches.ĭon’t let the fun headline, nor the final stat line fool you. Have questions?
