John Gant was a pleasant surprise in 2020...until he wasn’t. The right-hander’s 2.22 first half ERA was a huge boost to the bullpen as he was routinely able to pitch more than one inning, and do it well. Gant had a decent season in 2018 while operating out of the rotation and bullpen as he finished the year with a 3.47 ERA. However, his FIP (4.07) and xFIP (4.66) were not encouraging. Despite this, Gant broke out in the first hal of last season. However, after the all star break, Gant was not the same pitcher. His ERA skyrocketed to 6.
