BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues
ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues
ANALYSIS:
Bello got a vote of confidence this week as the Red Sox sent Nick Pivetta to a bullpen role. That gives him the chance to stick in a rotation that currently looks like this:
Kutter Crawford has been pitching well in the minors, and the Red Sox are clearly going to be more committed to the first four on the list than Bello, so there's no absolute job security here.
However, Bello has the skills to pitch his way into that job security. He recently posted a season-high seven strikeouts against the Mariners in a winning effort. He walked five in that start, but overall the walk rate hasn't been a big issue for him this year at 9.2%. That's good with a rising 24% K%, and the best part about Bello is his huge ground ball rate.
Highest GB% (4 GS minimum)
| Pitcher | GB% |
| Max Fried | 64% |
| Alex Cobb | 63% |
| Brayan Bello | 62% |
| Framber Valdez | 62% |
| Logan Webb | 61% |
His SwStr% is also very nice at 14.1%, so the sky is the limit with this kid. I think we could see him get the K% up above 25% with a BB% under 10% and a GB% above 60%. That would turn into a lot of success, so you might not be able to get your hands on him for very long.
