I know I’m not alone in thinking that Trevor Richards has impressed as a rookie. The Marlins were looking for steady arms earlier this season; fresh off being named their 2017 Minor League Pitcher of the Year, Richards earned a call up to fill the void in April. Entering Wednesday with 90 1⁄3 MLB innings under his belt, the right-hander owns a 4.28 ERA and 1.44 WHIP, emerging as one of the most effective options in Miami’s rotation. Hitters are only hitting around .250 against him.
Richards is not our little secret anymore.
