The righty had a solid season at Durham and an iffy one in the majors
After spending a full year in 2014 with Triple-A Durham, Matt Andriese made his major league debut in 2015 with middling results. He carried a 4.11 ERA and a 4.14 FIP. While his walk rate (6.4%) was above average, his strikeout rate (17.4%) was below average.
One thing he struggled with while pitching in the majors was allowing home runs. He allowed 1.1 home runs per nine innings. Since this team is deep on starting pitching, Andriese will most likely make his case out of the bullpen, meaning allowing home runs will haunt him even worse.
