Kyle Bradish made his MLB debut in late April, a strong six-inning outing where he allowed just two earned runs. Then he had an interesting month of May to put it nicely, going 1-2 with an 8.46 ERA in five outings. The hits rained down—his WHIP jumped up to 1.66 — and noisily, with a homer or more surrendered in every game he’s pitched.
But the 25-year-old is still way early in his MLB career, so he deserves a little time to figure stuff out. Last week, he pitched really well against Seattle, throwing 4.2 innings with six strikeouts, and he looked even better than that stat line to be honest, drawing tons of foolish-looking swings.
