Zack Wheeler's soaring command and 94 mph fastball produced some elite skills in August. He was one of several rookie starting pitchers with a 100+ BPV during that month.
Ivan Nova's curve has become a dominating pitch, and he's using it more frequently. How have he and 50 other AL and NL SPs changed their pitch mixes to change their fortunes?
Zack Greinke and Stephen Strasburg are widely accepted as elite SP in many leagues. But if you're keeping them and other SP active on the road and have the flexibility to do otherwise, you're playing with fire.
Few SP have been hurt more by their H%, S%, and hr/f than Rick Porcello. Here, our research shows that regression of those marks is closely correlated with 1H-2H ERA improvement and gives you a dozen names to consider.
Julio Teheran looked every bit like an ace in June, posting the highest swinging strike rate of any starting pitcher that month. Some other names on the list of best SP skills in June might surprise you.
