Tucker Davidson 2024

[OsFanInOhio]

Tucker has 54 strikeouts through 52 innings with only 16 walks (though that may not include his stats from today of 5ip, 5k, 1bb and 0 ER). He has an era of 2.2 and a whip of 1.12.
 

he’s only allowed 13 earned runs, 3 of which came in his first game of the season and 4 of which came May 30th. Pretty lights out for a guy who had an era of almost 5 and a whip of 1.3 last time he was in aaa (2022). 

he also has been working as a starter for Norfolk, so clearly can provide length  he’s gone 2 or more in 13 of his 18 appearances and 4 or more innings in 6 of his last 7 outings. 
 

Wonder if he could have some value in the pen sometime this year. When he was first added, I know the splitter that he started throwing in 2023 was one of the reasons for some optimism, I wonder if that’s the reason for his performance in Norfolk and if it could then carry over into the bigs.

He's a former major leaguer who was a starter in the minors mostly until this year. Here's his stuff today.

Here's his major league stuff..

Looks like he's got a plus slider and he's tough against lefties. 

He's been nails as a reliever and that's probably why they are giving him another look as a starter.

Soto is 0-6 off him with 3BB in 9 PA. Good for a .500 OPS

Clearly he has a roster spot for a playoff series with the Yankees….
