2019 AL West Preview: Texas Rangers, pitching staff overview

Last season, the Rangers didn’t have a single starter qualify for the ERA title. Mike Minor led the team with 157 innings pitched across 28 starts. A 45-year-old Bartolo Colon was second on the team in innings pitched. Behind those two pitchers, thirteen other pitchers made at least one start for Texas. All together, their starting rotation posted a 5.37 ERA, a 5.18 FIP, and the lowest strikeout rate by a rotation in baseball. During their heyday a few years ago, their pitching was never a strength, but they’re simply starved for quality arms now.
