Pirates starter Chad Kuhl is a young pitcher with electric stuff and a lively arm. He regularly throws in the mid-90s and has touched 100 mph. He changes speeds well, has an effective slider and is working on his curve ball. He's been valuable but hasn’t been an effective starter by any metric.
In 13 starts this season, Kuhl is 1-6 with a 5.61 ERA, 1.53 WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched) and 4.22 FIP, and opponents are hitting .286 against him. He hasn’t won since April 8 against Atlanta, his first start of the season.
