3 years agoThere are very few starting pitchers in Major League Baseball who have enjoyed a better start to 2022 than Tampa Bay Rays ace Shane McClanahan. Through the first eight weeks of the season, McClanahan ranks in the 95th percentile in whiff rate, the 91st percentile in chase rate, the 98th percentile in strikeout rate and the 94th percentile for xwOBA. Additionally, after ranking in the bottom two percentile for average exit velocity last season, McClanahan is giving up an average exit velocity of just 87.5 mph on his pitches this season. McClanahan is a must-start every time that he makes a pitching appearance.--JasonHirsch
