Lucas Giolito started off his MLB career with a lot of buzz surrounding him, as he was ranked the best prospect in all of baseball by MLB.com prior to the start of the 2016 season.
However, when he first arrived on the scene he struggled mightily as he registered a 6.75 ERA, 8.21 FIP, and 1.781 WHIP in six appearances (four starts) with the Washington Nationals. He also walked 12 batters as compared to striking out only 11.
I was actually at his second career start against the New York Mets at Citi Field and was very curious why this guy was even ever considered the best the prospect in baseball.
