Ryne Stanek – 93

What could Ryne Stanek be if he didn’t walk 4.9 batters per nine innings as he did in 2021? We may never know as that has been a problem all of his career. Stanek gave up a career low (tied with 2018) 6.1 hits per nine innings last season, but struggled with control.

I’m not confident that will improve moving forward as that’s what his career has been – relatively few hits (seven per nine innings), high strikeouts (10.9 per nine) and walks (4.6 per nine) over his 224 career appearances.
