Ragans, J. Lowe, G. Williams, Wallner, S. Domínguez

Ragans shows us that 2023 wasn't a fluke... Cole Ragans (LHP, KC) rocks a 3.46 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 29% K%, and 8% BB% in 161 innings.

Let's examine Ragans and his legitimacy.

Ragans is legit:

  • Ragans' xERA aligns with his actual, but it's still a quality ERA. His 36.5% ball rate in 2023 remained the same in 2024 (36.7%). It's hard to compare...
