| Grey Albright Player Summary |
|---|
| He ended up as the 5th best starter last year, so that people are drafting him this year as the 20th to 25th best starter is head-scratchingly confusing. If he was boosted by lucky peripherals that he couldn’t back up, it would be one thing, I suppose, but he had a 9 K/9 and 1.5 BB/9 with a 2.91 ERA and around the best splitter in baseball, so, I don’t know, seems pretty legit. He also had the best Z-Swing% and 4th best SwStr%, so hitters are swinging at everything and not succeeding. Again, I’m with that. Finally, he had the 6th best first-pitch strike and 15th worst Contact%. Hitters trying to take their best Shota, but they are coming up Shota. |
