Andrew Heaney News
Texas Rangers left-hander Andrew Heaney exercised his $13 million player option for the 2024 season and will be back in Texas next year. Heaney was a big part of the Rangers' pitching staff this year on their way to their first-ever World Series championship. The 32-year-old southpaw appeared in five games (three starts) in the playoffs and allowed five earned runs on 11 hits while walking four and striking out four in 11 innings pitched. During the regular season (his first in Texas), he went 10-6 with a 4.15 ERA (4.66 FIP) and 1.38 WHIP while walking 60 and striking out 151 in 147 1/3 innings over 34 appearances (28 starts). Heaney should enter his second year with the Rangers as a back-end starter in their rotation.
Texas Rangers left-hander Andrew Heaney has been named the starter for Game 4 of the World Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday. The Rangers were initially expected to use right-hander Jon Gray as the Game 4 starter, but those plans were scrapped after he threw three shutout innings for the win in Game 3 on Monday night when starter Max Scherzer left after three innings with a back spasm. Heaney allowed a hit in two-thirds of an inning in Game 2 of the series on Saturday. He's made two starts and worked twice out of the bullpen in the playoffs, allowing four earned runs on seven hits while walking two and fanning just one in six innings. The 32-year-old southpaw made one regular-season start against Arizona back on May 3 and picked up a no-decision after allowing six earned runs while walking four and striking out five in 4 2/3 frames.
Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve will look to keep his career-long success versus Andrew Heaney going in Thursday's Game 4 of the ALCS versus the Texas Rangers. Altuve has largely struggled this postseason but did break out with a homer and an additional base hit in Wednesday's Game 3 8-4 victory. However, the veteran is seemingly in a fantastic spot against a pitcher he has seen plenty of in Game 4. Altuve is a career 12-for-37 (.324) hitter against Heaney with three doubles, a pair of homers, and a walk across 38 career plate appearances against the southpaw. The Astros will look to even the ALCS at two games apiece Thursday against a pitcher in Heaney who has pitched just 3 2/3 innings since Sept. 30.

Things looked pretty grim for Texas Rangers left-hander Andrew Heaney during a 2021 season that saw him work to a 5.83 ERA in 30 outings between the Angels and Yankees. However, the southpaw rewarded the Dodgers with 16 outings (14 starts) of 3.10 ERA ball alongside a monstrous 35.5% K% in what marked a career year, parlaying it into a two-year deal with the Rangers this winter. Heaney dealt with shoulder issues last season and was once again bitten by the long ball, ranking in the 4th percentile in barrel rate and 2nd percentile in average exit velocity along the way. However, he also ranked in the 96th percentile in both whiff rate and chase rate, while his 6.1% BB% was good enough for the 78th percentile. Even factoring in his poor 2021 campaign, the Oklahoma State product's 23% K-BB% over the last two seasons ranks 10th among pitchers with a minimum of 200 innings pitched. Heaney is RotoBaller's 59th-ranked starting pitcher, with an ADP trending around 225. With Steamer projecting 26 starts of 3.57 ERA ball, a sterling 21.5% K-BB%, and a reduction in long balls to 1.23 HR/9, Heaney could be a rewarding investment worth considering before his ADP.
