Starter: Corbin Burnes (R, 13-8, 3.18 ERA 7th, 1.15 WHIP, 43 BB, 157 SO Features: Cutter, Curve, Slider, Changeup, Sinker (Inside on the Changeup and Sinker); Run on everything, and for strikes. (97-80). Nothing straight. An ace of any staff.
Outlook: Shoe-in. But it’s still going to be a battle for a young team to win it all. They won’t get John Means back this year. But they will need Grayson Rodriguez and Zach Eflin if they want to make a dent. Felix Bautista is out for the rest of 2024 with Tommy John, but is starting to throw bullpen sessions off the mound. Still the window is open for a long-time yet.
