Blake Taylor – 108
Blake Taylor gave up eight hits and 4.64 walks per nine innings in 2021 and while the walks were down from his rookie year of 2020, that’s not a winning recipe and was a major factor in his 1.41 WHIP.
As a lefty, there’s a role for Taylor if he’s able to grab it and hold on, despite the three batter minimum. Taylor was also 0-for-5 in save opportunities in 2021.
