Why first Cactus League start was 'a huge sign' for Dallas Keuchel

GLENDALE, Ariz. — If you’re in the prediction business, forecasting what players are due for a big (or better) season in 2020, keep your eyes on Dallas Keuchel.

Making his Cactus League debut Tuesday against the San Diego Padres, Keuchel gave up one run on six hits over four innings.

The numbers might not jump off the page, but there’s more to Keuchel’s outing than what you see in the box score.

After not signing with the Atlanta Braves until June last year, Keuchel believes he’s in a whole different place this season. To him, Tuesday’s first start confirmed that.
