There are always opportunities to improve yourself, just as there are always opportunities to improve your fantasy team — especially with players who have bettered themselves, like the Nationals’ second-year starter Jake Irvin.
Since that lousy start against Los Angeles, Irvin had the fifth-lowest walk rate in the majors to go along with the seventh-best WHIP , the 12th-lowest opponents’ average and the 10th-best ERA. His barrels per plate appearance are down, as is his opponents’ average , while his whiff, strikeout and swinging strike rates are all up.After walking 4.02 per nine innings last year, Irvin is walking just 1.67 per nine this year.
Though he doesn’t have quite as much spin as Lugo on his curve, Irvin owns a 27 percent whiff rate and .186 opponents’ average with the pitch.e also is using the pitch more, throwing it 33.5 percent of the time versus about 30 percent in 2023.
