J.T. Ginn Carries Streamer Appeal on the Waiver Wire
In 13 games (10 starts) so far this season, Athletics starting pitcher J.T. Ginn has recorded a 3-3 record with a 2.87 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 52 strikeouts across 59 2/3 innings. The 27-year-old put together a particularly impressive performance his last time out on Saturday, holding the New York Yankees to just four hits and one unearned run across six innings of work. Ginn is averaging a career-high 94.5 miles per hour on his fastball and is holding opposing batters to just a .198 batting average. Ginn has allowed a 10.1% walk rate and is benefiting from an unusually low .234 opponent batting average on balls in play, which could both be reasons to think that regression is coming. Still, the right-hander limits hard contact and owns a 47.5% ground-ball rate. Particularly in deeper leagues, Ginn is worth a look on the waiver wire as a starting pitcher streamer ahead of his next scheduled start on Friday against the Houston Astros.
