A Deep Dive Into Steven Matz’s Last Start

Assuming you read the title, I should clarify what I mean by “Steven Matz’s Last Start”. When I first began writing this article, when I said “last”, I meant Matz’s most recent start. But now, after the breaking of the news that Matz tore his MCL, I guess “last” could also mean his last start of the season. I’ll let you take it whichever way you want.

Regardless, it hasn’t been the best of starts to Matz’s Cardinals career after he signed a $44 million contract in the offseason. I mentioned it in one of my last articles, but I was hopeful that Matz could pitch like a 3 or 4 starter when he got healthy, and in his first start back from injury it looked like he might be able to fulfill that potential.
