Shane Bieber Looking To Rebound In His Second Start Of May
Shane Bieber was shelled in his first start of May, which came against the Toronto Blue Jays last Saturday. He lasted 3 1/3 innings and allowed eight hits, three walks and seven earned runs while failing to record a single strikeout. The 26-year-old has shown concerning velocity dips this year, averaging just 90.6 mph on his four-seamer, but his outcomes weren't bad before last Saturday's start. He went 1-1 with a 2.45 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP over five starts in April. He currently has a strikeout rate of just 21.5%, down from 33.1% last year, and he's allowing a barrel rate of 13.4%, up from 9% last year. We'll see if he's able to bounce back in his next trip to the mound against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.
