Graham Ashcraft has made precisely one (1) start this season and is currently valued at 0.5 bWAR (zero point five bee-war) for the year. If he kept up the work from his season opener for, say, 36 starts, he’d be the kind of record-breaking starting pitcher that could carry any franchise out of a rebuild.
Early season numbers are fun, aren’t they? Especially if you know how to math!
Ashcraft will try to replicate his early success after an additional day of rest, with his scheduled appearance this evening against the Atlanta Braves kicking off the Cincinnati Reds next series.
