13/39 whiffs on a 93.8 mph heater is chef’s kiss. Lynn has been locked in for a month now and this Gallows Poleshould be the last bit of evidence the jury needs. Lance Lynn (CWS) SEA (W) – 7.0 IP, 0 ER, 3 Hits, 1 BBs, 11 Ks – 25 Whiffs, 39% CSW, 89 pitches. I wouldn’t be shocked if we’re a bit disappointed next time, but it’s worth the gamble against baseball’s worst offense. Regardless, I expected nothing and got an exciting young arm, who now could get the Tigers and Athletics up next. His heater also seemed a touch more hittable than the eye test would suggest (that things zips out of his hand) as the Rangers got plenty more hard contact than you’d want.
He threw a ton of strikes, though it wasn’t with a delicate nature, especially with the slider and curve as they often flew out of his hand like a morning newspaper hoping to hit the porch. Some bad news: I don’t believe his command is quite there yet. The kid was dotting 97/98 mph heaters in the first frame, tossed a 96 mph slider, showcased a wicked curveball, and had me shouting at the screen in disbelief at what this “no name” was doing. Brown was magnificent in his MLB debut, finishing with a dream line of 6.0 IP, 0 ER, 3 Hits, 1 BBs, 5 Ks – 8 Whiffs, 30% CSW, 79 pitches against the Rangers, earning his first career victory. Following my streamer rules, I not only didn’t encourage a start for his MLB debut, but I went the extra mile to brush it off as a quick call-up that shouldn’t last five frames as they fill in Justin Verlander’s spot.īoy was I wrong. Here I am, making my daily SP streamer rankings and I see (null) for the Astros before discovering it’s Hunter Brown, a pitcher with an 11% walk rate in the minors and middling numbers as of late (though a 31.5% strikeout mark). Hunter Brown (HOU) vs TEX (W) – 6.0 IP, 0 ER, 3 Hits, 1 BBs, 5 Ks – 8 Whiffs, 30% CSW, 79 pitches. Have questions? Ask me during my office hours on Twitch weekday mornings from 9 am-11 am ET. I apologize for the jokes written in my delirium in advance. Welcome to the SP Roundup, my daily fantasy baseball article reviewing every starting pitcher’s performance from every Monday game.
