Eno’s Pitcher Ranks, Updated

by
April 3, 2015

It’s been a bit more than a month, so it’s time to update my rankings, maybe in time for your last draft. Mostly injuries have moved the needle, but a few spring training strikeout rates and pitch changes may have factored into the moves. I gave you the new NFBC ADP and my old rankings so you could see the movements in the rankings.

Enjoy!

With a phone full of pictures of pitchers' fingers, strange beers, and his two toddler sons, Eno Sarris can be found at the ballpark or a brewery most days. Read him here, writing about the A's or Giants at The Athletic, or about beer at October. Follow him on Twitter @enosarris if you can handle the sandwiches and inanity.
