7 years agoTexas Rangers relief pitcher Jose Leclerc threw a clean sixth inning with two strikeouts against the Cleveland Indians. The 24-year-old has now thrown 7 2/3 innings with no runs surrendered on the young season. Aside from the perfect 0.00 ERA, Leclerc's WHIP sits at a sparkling 0.52. On top of that, the youngster has struck out 31 percent of batters while cutting his walk rate in half from last season. Granted, 7 2/3 innings is a very small sample size and Leclerc still sometimes struggles to find the strike zone, but he brings electric stuff that is nearly unhittable when his command is on. While FIP doesn't believe he's quite 0.00 ERA good, it agrees that he's been very good with a 2.28. There's a lot to like here and in case you haven't noticed, the Texas bullpen is in constant flux. With all of the usual suspects having issues at times, it's hard to ignore a young fireballer on a hot streak. Deep leaguers should be adding him immediately, even if it's just for strikeout and ratio help.--Sean Scampton
