BALLER MOVE: Target ~250
CURRENT ADP: 269
ANALYSIS: Trevor Bauer earned wins in two of his first three starts of the 2015 season, allowing just two earned runs and registering 26 strikeouts in 19 innings pitched over that span. Unfortunately, he would reach double digits strikeouts in only two more starts, due to a lack of control. Bauer averaged 6.6 strikeouts in the 20 starts in which he lasted at least 5.2 innings, but just three strikeouts when he was pulled early. With a 22.9% K%, we know that Bauer has the stuff to miss a lot of bats. If he can improve his command and go further into ballgames, his overall numbers would undoubtedly improve, thus increasing his fantasy value.
