Coming off of a very solid 2019 season, Jeff Samardzija now carries the burden of being the ace on the staff for the San Francisco Giants.
Can the veteran right-hander provide stability to a weak starting rotation in 2020?
In 2019, the Shark recorded a 3.52 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and an 11-12 record in 32 starts and 181 innings pitched. All of that came on the heels of an injury plagued 2018 season where he spent most of the year watching from the sidelines.
Many of us wondered if Samardzija would even be effective last season.
