 In the American League, I think I had to go with Shohei Otani. I know I sound like a broken record always talking about him, but have you seen the guy? He took on his biggest pitching workload so far last season, and his rate stats all improved in the process. He led the American League in strikeout rate. He dropped to a 2.33 ERA, and he even introduced a new nasty sinker late in the season, just in case you didn't think he was good enough already. For the National League, I'm going with Spencer Strider. He first on the league in a major way last year. 17.8 strikeouts per 9 would have led the league by a strikeout and a half if he pitched more innings to qualify. But in those 131 innings and 20 starts, he dropped 202 strikeouts with a 2.47 ERA. And the kicker there, he did it all with just two pitches. Make your MLB futures best on the Fandals Sportsbook app.
