BALLER MOVE: 12+ Team leagues
ROSTERED IN: 41% of leagues
ANALYSIS:
His run of not allowing a barrel or a homer ended on Friday night, but all things considered, it wasn't a horrible outing. For the year now he has 37 strikeouts, 15 walks, and five homers allowed in 38.2 innings. Those numbers aren't stunning, but they are significantly better than what we're used to seeing from him in the Majors.
The pitch mix change is clear, he's throwing a ton more of his good breaking balls and less of his bad fastballs. That's working so far, albeit he's been more "fine" than "good". This is a recommendation for pretty deep leagues, but Josiah is young and talented enough to improve as the season progresses, so we'll keep an eye out.
