Dylan Cease ranks eighth in the majors in strikeouts and 11th among qualified pitchers in K-BB% ratio.

He has been tremendously unlucky, as his330 BABIP is fifth -worst among qualified hurlers and his 67.7% strand rate is 10th lowest.

Jack Flaherty is the first player to this point in the article whom I wouldn’t be excited to add to my roster.

Scott ’s ERA estimators are significantly lower than his 3.65 mark, and he has been plagued by poor timing, as is evidenced by his 62.1% strand rate. Even with the Dodgers sharing some save chances, Scott ranks 10th in baseball in that category, and he has collected six of the team’s past eight saves. I’m not worried about the Dodgers trading for a closer this summer , and I expect Scott to have plenty of value the rest of the way. A buy-low offer would be a smart move by those who need saves..
