BALLER MOVE: Target ~130
CURRENT ADP: 145
ANALYSIS: Raisel Iglesias blew batters away in an abbreviated 2015 MLB stint, evidenced by his 9.82 K/9 ratio. That figure was good for sixth in the National League among qualified starting pitchers. The 26-year-old Cuban rookie posted a 4.15 ERA last year, which might be a daunting figure for some. Among the other top-10 NL finishers in K/9 for the 2015 season, Iglesias' ERA was the highest by a noticeable margin.
His 3.55 FIP is above average, and even though the shallow confines of the Great American Ballpark are not doing him any favors, all of the metrics point toward a lower ERA in 2016. Unfortuantely, that may coordinate with a regression in the strikeout department. Either way, Iglesias is one of the key high-ceiling guys heading into next season and could be a quality pickup if he lingers into the middle rounds.
