In 2019, the 2 pitchers with the highest @fangraphs run values on their fastball were Seth Lugo Trevor May That's on a per-pitch basis (rather than total value for season) They're now on the same pitching staff (and yes, both had fastballs that slipped a bit in 2020)

Keon Broxton’s defensive stats last season were weird. He had 11 Defensive Runs Saved in a 9-game span, which is almost impossible. Here’s how he did it.

Marcus Stroman is a pitcher whose ERA is usually better than his FIP. This is probably because of his ground ball rate, which is 56% this season, 2nd-highest in MLB Important he has a good infield defense behind him. The Mets don't currently have that ...
