Two rookie pitchers broke in with the Indians in 2019, both with wonderful debuts that made one dream of a beautiful post-Kluber/Bauer future.
Zach Plesac gave the Tribe 115.2 innings of 3.81 ERA ball, striking out 18.5% of the batters he faced while walking 8.5%, and dancing with the Devil a bit with a .255 BABIP. It was solid, though some of the peripherals (the 4.94 FIP, the middling 39.1% groundball rate, the league average 38% hard-hit rate) make one hope that he knows what he needs to work on in advance of the 2020 season.
Next to him was Aaron Civale.
