J.T. Ginn a Waiver Wire Target Despite Recent Blemish?
Athletics starting pitcher J.T. Ginn has been effective on the mound this season, emerging as a waiver wire option for fantasy baseball managers. Through 12 games (nine starts) this year, Ginn owns a 3.19 ERA with 8.05 K/9, 3.86 BB/9, and a 47.5% ground ball rate. His fastball is also up to a career-high average of 94.5 mph. For the most part, he's flashed solid control, but he did have a rough outing a few days ago. Against the Padres on May 23, he allowed zero hits over 2.1 innings, but he walked six batters and surrendered two earned runs. Outside of that outing, walks haven't been a glaring issue for Ginn this year, so we expect him to bounce back in his next outing. His ERA, his solid K/BB ratio, and his ability to pitch deeper into outings make him an intriguing name to consider adding on the waiver wire. As it stands, he's still available in 77% of fantasy baseball leagues.
