The Change: Eno Sarris’ Rest of Season Pitcher Ranks

I figured it was time.

I used strikeouts minus walks for the first sort because that’s been shown to be the best in-season predictor. I then eyeballed fastball velocity and pitching mix. There are a few places where I went with upside because I saw these as mixed league rankings. If you’re in a deeper league, look past the prospects and instead consider the veterans that are pitching now.

Feel free to argue a guy up or down. I may make the move!

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.
