If you were to look at Blake Snell’s numbers this season and compare them to last season you would be left scratching your head just as I was after diving into his tendencies and results.
After his most recent start in which he only recorded 1 out and surrendered 6 earned runs, I too was left speechless. What was there to say? CyZilla had gone from making Major League hitters look foolish en route to a league leading 1.89 ERA in 2018 to a middling 4.40 ERA in 2019 through 15 starts.
At times he has looked un-hittable, and at times (5) he hasn’t made it out of the 5th inning.
