BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
OWNED IN: 31% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Nathan Eovaldi has been on an absolute tear as of late and for those fantasy owners looking for a huge boost in their pitching department they can look no further than the services of Eovaldi.
Over his last 10 starts, Eovaldi has seen his ERA drop by 52 points while compiling a 47:21 K/BB while allowing 4+ ER just once and allowing only 2 HR. Throw in 4 QS and 6 W and the only thing keeping Eovaldi back from having an elite stat line is his ability to last in most of his games.
Eovaldi has only reached past the 6th inning in 9 of his starts this year but still has a favorable 13-2 record with a 2.5 K/BB rate for the season. His LOB% is at 74% which is the highest it has ever been and 3 points higher than his career average as well. The FIP of 3.48 still needs to come down and his ERA of 4.00 has been mostly in part to a few blowup games he had earlier in the season.
When the Yankees brought Eovaldi over they knew he would be a project player at first that they hoped would develop into the pitcher the Dodgers and Marlins knew he could become. He has been able to avoid the big blowup games and has managed his control and honed his craft thus far. He is a must add for any team in need of any kind of pitching help.
