There was no sophomore slump for Zach Plesac

In a very weird year, it has to rank very close to the top in unexpected developments just how good Zach Plesac was this season. Cleveland came into 2020 with a pretty decent grasp of what the rotation would look like. Shane Bieber and Mike Clevinger would headline, with Carlos Carrasco a steady, wonderful choice for a number three starter. After that, the glimpses we saw of the rookies Plesac and Aaron Civale gave hope that at the very least, it would be pretty good. Nobody could have expected Bieber to do what he did. Nobody really expected them to move Mike Clevinger so abruptly.
