Collin McHugh and the curious case of his sweeper

Related Topics: Caitlin McHugh

Collin McHugh was a steady, reliable arm for the Atlanta Braves bullpen in 2022, following his exceptional year for the Rays in the 2021 season.

Even though he has a respectable ERA of 3.18 (which, when adjusted is 41.0 percent better than average), almost everything else for McHugh points to him being extremely fortunate so far this season.

Even though his ERA is 3.18, his expected ERA (xERA) is 5.06, and there are a lot of factors that are going into this.

His strikeout rate of 13.6 percent is the lowest of his career and ranks him in the bottom 5.
