Reid Detmers is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for pitchers heading into Week 9 (2023). Target Detmers as a free agent pitcher on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues
ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues
ANALYSIS:
I don't want to ever react very much to one start. Detmers has been up and down and mostly frustrating for his short MLB career, but seeing what he did on Friday night does have been bumping him up a bit.
He struck out 12 Twins in 5.2 innings while giving up two hits and three earned runs. That brought his season K% up to 29.8% – a fantastic number. He earned a 23% SwStr% and a 53.3% strike% in that start, just dominating.
He used his slider a bit more in that start and it was an awesome pitch for him with a ridiculous 38% SwStr% on the 45 pitches.
I'm not going to say this is him turning the corner, but it was nice to be reminded of his upside. Here's hoping he can finally find some consistency and become the very strong starting pitcher we know he can be.
