MLB Daily Notes - September 24th
A daily automated report of what happened yesterday in Major League Baseball, along with other recent trends and further analysis.
I went up against Bryce Miller in the finals last night, and it did go the way I wanted it to. And honestly, that’s not fair. There is no reason that anything bad should happen to me.
7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 5 K, 2 BB, 20 whiffs, 20.6% SwStr%, 30.9% Ball%’
The season update now is a strong 18% K-BB%, but an underwhelming 11.9% SwStr% and 35% Ball% combination.
Miller might get one more start, although it wouldn’t be surprising to see them shut him down once they’re eliminated from contention. A positive year from Miller. He came in as a pretty different SP after relying very heavily on the four-seamer last season. He went throwing that fastball 59% of the time to that 42% usage you see above. The sinker and splitter usage came up to compensate (the splitter was new this year), and he kept mixing in the slider, sweeper, and changeup. He has a fantastic foundation with the four-seamer (an elite 15.4% SwStr% on that pitch this year), and a lot of other tools to experiment with. I think he’ll continue to improve.
I am going to focus more and more on only drafting pitchers with strong fastballs next year. They are so much safer.
There’s not much else here worth talking about. There were just four games last night, so this final week gets going tonight. Here’s the full SP data:
If you’re looking for a pitcher tonight, there’s not much to like! Landon Knack takes on the Padres. He has a decent 17.5% K-BB% on the year and has seen some increased fastball velocity lately. THat turned into a seven-strikeout performance last time against the Marlins.
He has a home run issue with a 1.8 HR/9 and a very high 35% FB%, so it’s far from a safe play - but that’s the guy I’d recommend if you’re desperate.
Tobias Myers gets the Pirates, so he’s an option if available. We have a lot of studs on the hill tonight, so the streamers should be stronger for the rest of the week.
Tarik Skubal gets the start tonight for the Tigers, who are suddenly in the second Wild Card spot. They’ve had an incredible second half. They’re probably a bit nervous about all the innings they’re piling on Skubal, but they have no choice - and I’m sure they’d be pumped to get into the playoffs.
Did you know that Zebby Matthews has a 27.8% K% and 5.2% BB% over his last six starts? I didn’t know that until just now!
He has his season K% up to 24% with the strong 5% BB%.
The fastball has been fine. The velo is fine, the SwStr% is a little low, but he has such good command of the pitch that he’s posted an elite 53% Strike% with it. Hitters have hit it a long way when they do get to it, though, as you can see with that .397 xwOBA and .593 SLG. Most of the damage has come fro lefties (.407 xwOBA by lefties vs. a .299 mark to righties). He would seem to need a better changeup. He’s thrown 44% fastballs and 21% sliders to lefties this year, and that doesn’t work if your stuff isn’t very good.
He’s someone to consider this week. He’s lined up to face the Orioles on Saturday. Not a great matchup, but the Orioles have not been an elite offense in the second half - so it’s not the worst thing in the world.
That’ll do it for today. I’ll try to think of something more to say tomorrow, but this is a tough spot in the year for me as far as writing goes. Peace out!
