Grant Dayton has shown in his near 90 innings sample that, when healthy, he can be an effective reliever with surprisingly high K-rates. Unfortunately for Dayton staying healthy has been tough, hence the 90 total innings collected through his age 32 season.
In 2020, Dayton showed promise once again as he pitched 27.1 innings of 2.30 ERA baseball, limiting walks to 3.6/9 while striking out 10.5/9. What’s likely the most important stat for a lefty, the ability to keep left-handed hitters off the bases, Dayton proved more than adequate, holding them to a .398 OPS in 38 plate appearances.
