Reyes Moronta is an unusual player for the Giants in that he is (A) an international signing and (B) good. In Moronta’s first full season, he threw 65 innings, struck out 79, and led the Giants’ bullpen in ERA at 2.49. He was virtually unhittable as he only allowed four homers, and according to Statcast, he finished in the top five percent of just about every expected metric. Hitters had an xwOBA of .250 against Moronta in 2018, so he basically made every hitter look like Austin Jackson. Moronta, in many ways, was a Statcast darling.
Reyes Moronta will be a Statcast darling again
