Madison Bumgarner Named Opening Day Starter
3 years agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks have named starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner as the team's Opening Day starter this year. He will go up against a tough San Diego Padres lineup this coming Thursday, April 7. MadBum posted a solid 1.18 WHIP last year, but the rest of his numbers were pretty ugly. He had a 4.67 ERA and averaged just 7.6 K/9. The average velocity on his four-seamer (90.4 mph) was up last year from 2020 (88.4 mph), but it was still well below where it was in his prime. He can remain undrafted in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues.
