Colorado Rockies: Is Chad Bettis’ great start sustainable?

After Chad Bettis was drafted in 2010, he had a very up and down start to his career. Bettis struggled as a starter. Then he moved to the bullpen where he continued to struggle. Finally, moving back to the starter’s role in 2015. Chad Bettis spent his first full season in the Rockies’ starting rotation in 2016. He wasn’t particularly lights out. However, Bettis did flash a bit of promise, amassing 138 strikeouts over 189 innings with an ERA of 4.79. Just shortly after the season had ended, Chad Bettis went through a tough bout with cancer.
