Oakland A’s ace Sonny Gray is making headlines again! And another one, here. It appears his trade value is returning to normal levels — have his skills returned, too?
Sonny currently sports the lowest walk rate of his career (6.7%) and the second best strikeout rate of his career (23.3%) aided by a career-best 11.2 swinging-strike percentage. It appears his batted ball data is right in line with his career norm. One concern is that his HR/9 is still well above 1, and has increased nearly each season he’s been a major leaguer.
