Jake Faria should have better results than he’s produced so far. He looks the part of a Major League starter as he stands 6’4″ and weighs in at 225 lbs. He averaged over 93 MPH on his fastball last year, and he pairs it with an above average change up and usable breaking stuff. Why hasn’t he been able to find success?
When was Faria’s last good year?
Faria had a mini-breakout as a rookie in 2017. He posted a 3.43 ERA in 14 starts and two relief appearances for the Rays. He worked 86 2/3 innings and managed to strike out 84 while walking 31 and allowing 11 homers.
