BALLER MOVE: Target ~190
CURRENT ADP: 205
ANALYSIS: Jerad Eickhoff has displayed flashes of brilliance in his two seasons with the Phillies, and although he features a 3.44 career ERA in 41 starts, his record stands at a disappointing 14-17. In terms of his stuff alone, the 26-year-old doesn’t strike out a substantial number of batters, but he does walk very few, induce a healthy number of ground balls and strands plenty of runners.
Eickhoff is a horse in the rotation, having nearly surpassed the 200-inning mark last season while not missing a start and going over six innings in over two-thirds of his outings. Run support ultimately felled his record, as he ranked below the top 50 pitchers in the category. Even if he remains a mid-rotation starter, Eickhoff is poised to be a highly consistent one, and even the slightest improvement in run support will work wonders for his record.
