Daulton Jefferies Throws Five Scoreless Innings In 2022 Debut
3 years agoOakland Athletics starting pitcher Daulton Jefferies helped the team avoid a sweep against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. Making his first start of the year, the 26-year-old pitched five innings and allowed two hits, two walks and no runs while striking out two. He threw 30 of his 48 pitches for strikes. Jefferies has been one of the team's top pitching prospects the past few years, but he's struggled in his limited appearances in the majors. Prior to Sunday's outing, he had made six appearances in the majors (two starts) and had posted a 5.82 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP while averaging just 4.8 K/9. He's worth keeping an eye on in deep leagues and AL-only leagues, but he has an uphill battle toward being fantasy relevant. His next start will be on Friday against a terrifying Toronto Blue Jays offense.
