Morning Report: A Breakdown of Stephen Tarpley’s Season

Stephen Tarpley makes his final start of the season tonight. He comes into the game with a 2.35 ERA in 111 innings, which ranks him fourth in the South Atlantic League. The leader is his teammate Yeudy Garcia, who has a 2.02 ERA and makes his last start on Sunday. Tarpley ranks ninth in the league with 102 strikeouts, only 15 behind the leader. He trails Garcia with 108 and Austin Coley with 111 strikeouts for the team lead. Tarpley is seventh in the league with a 1.13 WHIP. He also has a .236 BAA and a 1.46 GO/AO ratio, so just like I said with Steven Brault yesterday, Tarpley is doing a lot of things right.
