Jhoulys Chacin has had an enviable career in Major League Baseball. He debuted in the big leagues as a 21 year old way back in 2009, and since then he has appeared in over 200 games and logged more than 1,100 innings at baseball’s highest level. His 3.89 ERA has been about 10% better than league average over the course of his career, and he’s been able to haul in some $20 mil in earnings.
Chacin has been able to accomplish all this while working predominantly as a two-pitch hurler. He most often pairs his sinking fastball with a plus slider that has served him well throughout his career, and while he’ll also flip a curveball up there on occasion, he’s never really boasted a quality changeup that he can use against left-handers.
