Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Robbie Ray's breakout 2021 campaign was fueled by his strikeout prowess. He led the majors with 248 strikeouts. His 32.1% strikeout rate ranked in the top 7% of the league and he averaged a sturdy 11.5 K/9. Through four starts so far this year, Ray has been unable replicate last year's bat-missing success. He has just 18 strikeouts over 25.1 innings, which amounts to 6.4 K/9. His 17.6% strikeout rate ranks in the 27th percentile. Ray's decreased velocity this year has been highly publicized and that's certainly one of the contributing factors to his lack of whiffs. The average velocity on his four-seamer is down from 94.8 mph last year to 92.2 mph this year. Ray has posted quality starts in three of his four outings, so it's not like we're witnessing a complete breakdown from the 30-year-old. However, fantasy managers have good reason to be concerned about the 2021 AL Cy Young winner at this point.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Robbie Ray had his swing-and-miss stuff going on the mound during Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers. The southpaw had some problems in the first inning when he gave up two hits and a run. After that, Ray settled down and tossed seven innings, allowing two earned runs on five hits, while striking out eight batters in the no-decision. This was the deepest Ray has worked in a game this season, but sadly he wasn't able to get the win. Despite that, Ray has pitched well this season and will carry a 3.73 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and 33/19 K/BB ratio into his next start against the Colorado Rockies. This will be a favorable matchup for Ray at home against the struggling Rockies offense. Fantasy managers will likely want to capitalize on this opportunity.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Robbie Ray gave up a two-run home run to rookie Caleb Durbin but was able to limit the damage to just those two runs allowed over his five innings on Tuesday night. He was not efficient with his pitch count and needed 92 pitches to get through five frames while striking out four, walking three, and giving up five hits. The 33-year-old lefty has issued at least three free passes in each of his last four starts and has a 6.7 BB/9 rate on the year. He'll need to improve his control and efficiency to work deeper into games, but he has battled to maintain a 9.3 K/9 and 4.07 ERA despite a 5.87 FIP and 1.56 WHIP. The Giants ultimately won Monday's game, and they'll hope to get a better outing from Ray in his next scheduled start on Saturday against the Rangers.--Zach Thompson - RotoBaller

San Franciso Giants starting pitcher Robbie Ray pitched five strong innings on Tuesday to pick up a win in the Giants' 6-4 victory over the Tigers. Ray has only been available for eight starts over the last two seasons but showed good potential in his seven starts last season, going 3-2 with a 4.70 ERA and 4.96 FIP but posting an impressive 12.6 K/9. The 2021 AL Cy Young winner has also looked sharp this spring, allowing just four earned runs in five starts for a 1.86 ERA. He racked up 23 strikeouts in 19 1/3 innings, highlighted by an eight-strikeout performance against the Rangers. Ray has shown he can be good enough when healthy to be a mixed-league option coming into the season. He'll face the Reds on the road in a less-than-ideal matchup next week, but he's definitely someone to watch early in the season.--Zach Thompson - RotoBaller

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Robbie Ray is reportedly adding a changeup to his repertoire. The lefty is said to have borrowed the grip from last year's AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal after communicating with him this offseason and results so far have been promising. The 33-year-old pitched two innings in Tuesday's 7-5 Cactus League loss to the Athletics, allowing no runs on one hit and zero walks while striking out three, including getting some whiffs on the new changeup. Ray made his way back from Tommy John surgery in July of last season, making seven starts before missing the rest of the year due to a hamstring strain. Although the 4.70 ERA and the 11.6 percent walk rate weren't good, the veteran still demonstrated strong strikeout stuff, posting a 33.3 percent K% with 43 strikeouts in 30 2/3 IP. Fully healthy and armed with a new pitch, the former Cy Young winner has a chance to be a sneaky value pick with an NFBC ADP of 165, as RotoBaller ranks him at 150 overall.--Jarod Rupp - RotoBaller
