Braves Settle With Mike Foltynewicz
6 years agoThe Atlanta Braves avoided salary arbitration with starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz on Friday by signing him to a one-year, $5.475 million deal, according to sources. The 27-year-old had a breakout in 2018 by going 13-10 with a 2.85 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 202 strikeouts in 183 innings over 31 starts for Atlanta. His fantasy owners were more than pleased with his production, but don't expect him to be quite as good in 2019 unless he gets his walks under control. Folty's xFIP of 3.77 last year shows that he was incredibly lucky, as he also had a fortunate 77 percent left-on-base percentage. Don't overspend on him.
