Huascar Ynoa has been one of the biggest, if not the biggest, positive surprises for the Braves so far in 2021. Hell, he might be one of the biggest positive surprises in baseball. Across seven starts and one relief appearance, the 22-year-old righty has already compiled 0.7 fWAR with his arm and another 0.5 with his bat and glove. His 55 ERA-/90 FIP-/76 xFIP- are all either tops on the starting staff or very close (Ian Anderson has an 89 FIP- after yesterday’s victory), and he’s almost been a paragon of consistency results-wise, as he’s had six Game Scores (v2) between 61 and 69 in seven tries.
