Mar 27 2018
Kluber's skills back top-four SP status... After missing time in the first half of 2017 with a lower back strain, Corey Kluber (RHP, CLE) still managed to strike out 105 batters in 80 first-half IP. While he experienced some good fortune (87% S%) in the second half, he missed bats consistently and posted a 2.57 xERA with 160 strikeouts in 123 second-half IP.
