Brandon Woodruff was once again dominant, throwing a shutout. He struck out seven and walked one, although it was a strangely low 10.4% SwStr%. He made up for it with called strikes (49.1% Strike% overall), so yeah - the patience with Woodruff is being rewarded and he sets up very nicely to be a top 30 pick next year
The Pirates let Patrick Corbin generate a season-high 18 whiffs, he had not gone above 15 prior to yesterday. He got eight strikeouts, his second-most of the year. But why am I talking about Patrick Corbin?
Jesus Luzardo got bombed again, this time by the Cardinals. He has bounced back and forth between very good starts (25+ points is a very good start, I would say) and very bad starts (below five points):
In his last 14 starts he only has two between 5 and 25 points, so it’s either really good or really bad. Goofy pitcher, not someone I will want to draft next year - but we’ll see where the price is. As for what to do with him now - I don’t see how you don’t just roll him out until the end of the year, it’s not like there’s a great replacement option at this point.

Pitcher/Pitch Trends
Framber Valdez is getting ready for the playoffs, or something:
This is a pitch he introduced in the middle of the season last year, and it’s definitely helped him take his game to a new level. He has an improved 12.5% SwStr% and 24.3% K% this year, and he’s kept up the high GB% (55%) - although that is down significantly from last year (60%+). But it’s been a good move overall because he’s been great once again with a .647 OPS allowed and a 3.32 ERA with a 1.10 WHIP. The BB% is down to 6.5%, which is probably the biggest deal of all.
As for the cutter, he throws it 12% of the time but it has worked very well with a 21.6% SwStr% and a 47% Strike%.

Hitters
A three-barrel day for Yandy Diaz, but only one of them found a fence to fly over. He’s up to a .325/.404/.514 slash line with 20 homers and a 9.7% Brl%. It’s easily his best season. He’s made strides in GB (51%), but it hasn’t been the complete and total breakout season we thought he was going to have early on. But you are certainly getting your money’s worth from him, the counting stats have been strong.
Three barrels from C.J. Abrams as well, and he found the bleachers twice. He’s been just insanely good after the first few months of this season. Last 60:
206 AB, 39 R, 11 HR, 22 RBI, 27 SB, .262 AVG
He’s the #9 roto hitter in that time frame, and he’s barreling toward being a top 40 or so pick next year. He’s the #27 hitter on the full-season player rater right now with his 18 homers and 41 steals.
Logan O’Hoppe had a big game with a couple of homers. Since his return from the IL:
76 PA, .211/.263/.507, 6 HR, 15.5% Brl%, 17.1% K%
He’s been fantastic in his limited time this year with an .820 OPS, a 14.4% Brl%, and a low 20.7% K% - so he sets up nicely for next year at the catcher position - although the Angels lineup could be the worst in the league with Ohtani and maybe even Trout departing now.
