He make occasionally get some bumps and bruises, but we’re looking at an ace-in-the-making who is still just 24. The fact Giolito was the third-most added pitcher (behind Brandon Woodruff and Jordan Lyles) this week, and still owned in less than 40 percent of ESPN leagues, is crazy. It may have taken the 16th pick of the 2012 draft some time to figure things out, but he is here, and fantasy owners should be taking notice. Pick him up before it’s too late.

It's been like clockwork. They are way ahead of the change, followed by being way behind the fastball. He's made it look so easy. It's been a pleasure to watch!

Standardizing home runs against basically standardizes quality of contact against - which can vary pitcher to pitcher. Giolito could be a true 8% home run guy with his new stuff. Normalizing towards FIP is much more likely. Edited June 3, 20196 yr by Look at Ray Ray Run
