Dead weight

Four-seam grades 85 and gets below-average expected results on 45% usage. Against lefties, moving about 22 of every 100 pitches to the changeup (114 Stuff), about 44% of his four-seams to them, is worth an estimated 0.9 runs per season, after a 50% haircut for diminishing returns. vs. lefties: the changeup is worth +2.0 runs per 100 pitches more, 2.4 standard errors (62 and 205 pitches; his own results against that side combined with Stuff and the league’s platoon split). His fastballs stay at 35%+.

Weak pitch to watch

Cutter grades 77 with below-average expected results; his changeup grades 114. The best case is against righties: the changeup is worth +1.5 runs per 100 pitches more, 1.9 standard errors (183 and 105 pitches), short of the 2 needed. No mix change until it clears.
