Kenta Maeda was supposed to improve this season, but the opposite has happened. In ten starts for the Dodgers this season, Maeda has thrown just 52.1 innings and in those innings has a 5.16 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP. Over his past three starts, he has accumulated just 12 innings and has allowed nine earned runs and eight walks. He’s regressed so much to the point that he has officially become a liability.
As one of only two right-handed starters LA has, Kenta is a valuable member of this team, but at the moment, he is doing more harm than good.
