FACTS/FLUKES: Mahle, Verdugo, Urquidy, Straw, Lange

A right shoulder injury forced Mahle to hit the injured list multiple times in 2022... In 120.2 IP, Tyler Mahle (RHP, MIN) posted a 4.40 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 25% K%, and 8.5% BB%. It sounds like the shoulder injury isn't bothering Mahle to begin Spring Training, but what do the skills indicate? Could Mahle bounce back with another season of 200+ strikeouts?
