Adam Wainwright‘s poor performance can be attributed to the fact that he only appeared in seven games in 2015 for the St. Louis Cardinals. Bouncing back in 2016 did not go well. He gave up a career-high 102 earned runs.
Prior to that, his highest total was eighty-seven runs in 2012. The number of home runs allowed was also a career-high at twenty-two in 2016. His pitches that once were throwing hitters off balance in previous years were simply not working. Further proved by his averaging ten hits per nine innings.
That doesn’t create excitement to see Waino pitch this upcoming season.
