The 24-year-old lefty finished strong, notching a 5-1 record over his final 10 outings while logging six quality starts in that stretch. He'll be a pivotal part of the rotation next year after finishing 2017 with a 4.04 ERA in 24 starts.","date":"Sun Oct 1"},"fullName":"Blake Snell","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Snell has outstanding stuff, best illustrated by his 27.6 percent second-half strikeout rate which ranked 10th amongst pitchers who made at least 10 starts. Control, however, has been a problem for him throughout his pro career, and remains his final obstacle to a significant breakthrough in the majors. He had a 1.64 WHIP during the second half, due to a 13.2 percent walk rate that ranked dead last amongst the aforementioned group. If Snell shows improvement in this regard during spring training, he'll emerge on the mixed-league radar with plenty of upside; he's more of an AL-only speculative pick otherwise.","seasonId":2017,"date":"Tue Feb 28"},"playerRater30DAY":3.6,"playerRater15DAY":6.6,"positionRank":79}
