BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues
ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues
ANALYSIS:
He's made two starts in the Majors now and that has turned into 11.2 innings of one-run ball with just six hits allowed on an 8:2 K:BB ratio. The strikeout rate is below 20% and the SwStr% is just a little bit above average at 12.4%, so we're not looking at a rookie banging the door down.
However, it's hard to argue with results even in a small sample when we're searching this deep for SP help. For the entire season, including his minor league starts, he has a 28% K% and a 10% BB% – so that's a little bit encouraging that maybe he can get more strikeouts moving forward.
Take a look at his pitch mix:
You can see there that he distributes his pitches pretty evenly with four different offerings above 15%. The swinging-strike rates aren't great on any pitch, but they aren't bad on any of them either. It's good to see a young pitcher with this many arrows in his quiver, and I think that will help France as we move forward. You can give him a look in deeper formats.
