Mike Foltynewicz Throws For Teams Friday
4 years agoFree-agent starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz threw for interested teams in Atlanta on Friday and looked to be in fine shape while hitting 90-92 mph on the radar gun. Foltynewicz was an All-Star in 2018 with the Braves when he went 13-10 with a 2.85 ERA and 1.08 ERA while striking out 202 batters and walking 68 in 31 starts over 183 innings. But his FIP of 3.37 that year showed that he was pretty fortunate despite striking out 9.9 hitters per nine innings. He posted a 4.54 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 21 starts the following year and was outrighted to the team's alternate site in the shortened 2020 season when he allowed six earned runs in 3 1/3 innings in his lone start. The 29-year-old could get a chance to compete for a backend starting rotation spot somewhere in 2021, but he's off the fantasy radar for now.
