FACTS/FLUKES: Springs, J.D. Martinez, Jor. López, T. Hernández, Lorenzen
Jun 11 2022
Springs thing: How much should we trust a Rays starting pitcher not named McClanahan?... With 117 appearances, yet only nine as a starter throughout his career, Jeffrey Springs (LHP, TAM) peaked at a career-high 44.2 innings and $4 R$ in 2021. Springs started seven games in 2022 and posted elite ratios of a 1.62 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 44.1 innings, translating into $14 R$. Do the skills point to sustained success?
