Tyler Bashlor’s 2018 was a mixed bag. He built off a breakout 2017 with 24 excellent relief innings in Double-A that led to a major league call-up. That alone was impressive, given that he missed more than two seasons after Tommy John surgery and progressed through the system in effectively two-and-a-half years once healthy. Unfortunately, his 32 major league innings were a disaster, as his strikeout rate plummeted and his home run rate soared. Bashlor’s 4.22 ERA wasn’t horrific, but a 5.44 FIP and a 126.9 DRA- paint a more accurate picture that is not as kind.
