Boston Red Sox: Stop trying to make Mike Shawaryn a reliever
Mike Shawaryn could be a very good pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, they just need to stop trying to make him into something he’s not, a reliever.
At this time last year, Mike Shawaryn was an extremely exciting pitching prospect for the Boston Red Sox. Coming off his best season in the minors, many expected him to get the call-up to the Majors during the 2019 season.
In 2018, the right-handed pitcher split time between Double-A and Triple-A. During that season, he threw a career-high 149 1/3 innings for a 3.44 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 132 strikeouts. That’s a really strong season.
