6 years agoAndrew Heaney had a productive 2018 and has the potential to be an ace this upcoming season. The former 2012 ninth-overall pick put together a very respectable 2018 campaign, going 9-10 with a 4.15 ERA. The wins may still be limited as the Angels are destined for another mediocre year under new manager Brad Ausmus, but all of Heaney’s peripherals should improve. After missing the last two seasons recovering from Tommy John surgery, the left-hander blew by his 2015 career-high in innings (105.2), throwing 180 last year. The Angels' starter had no problem handling this increased workload, although it seemed like he started to fatigue by the end of the season. After a rough start, Heaney really found his groove from May – July, including a one-hit complete game shutout on June 5. He averaged a 3.25 ERA and 1.07 WHIP across this three-month period, before cooling off in August. The 2019 season will determine whether the former top prospect makes the changes necessary to become a bonafide stud. He needs to start games stronger; his opponents had tremendous success against him the first time through the order. He needs to improve against right-handed batters (4.77 ERA) and maintain his home ERA (3.22) while on the road, all while sustaining a 4.00 K/BB. If Heaney does that, then he could reach 200ks next season and far exceed his ADP of 175.--Ben Holmes
