Toronto Blue Jays starter Jose Berrios struggled in his latest outing on Tuesday, surrendering nine hits, five earned runs and a pair of walks in 5 1/3 innings of work against the New York Yankees. The veteran didn't allow a home run and did strike out seven while logging 12 swinging strikes and a strong 39% CSW rate, but he allowed too many base runners. In 31 starts spanning 166 innings this season, Berrios has turned in a 5.37 ERA, a 5.24 FIP, 144 strikeouts and 42 walks. He's logged a win in 11 of those 31 starts.
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Jose Berrios turned in an OK start in Monday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Cubs. Berrios pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on 10 hits and a walk with four strikeouts. The 28-year-old has been one of fantasy's bigger disappointments this season and now has a 9-5 record with a 5.32 ERA through 26 starts. Fantasy managers who have stuck with Berrios have probably already been picking and choosing their matchups carefully, but he does draw a strong matchup in his next start at the Pirates.
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Jose Berrios struck out nine batters on Thursday as his club defeated the Yankees 9-2 from the Bronx. The right-hander allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and a walk over 6 2/3 innings as he improved his record to 9-5 on the season. Berrios gave up both his runs in the third frame after he led the inning off with a walk, hit-by-pitch, and then a throwing error of his own, but thankfully he was able to limit the damage. Berrios has had his ups and downs in 2022 as he sits with a 5.39 ERA and 1.37 WHIP on the year, but managers will still want to roll him out in his next start versus the Red Sox next week.

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios had one of the worst seasons in baseball in 2022. He managed a 5.23 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, and 19.8% strikeout rate with 12 victories across 32 starts. Berrios still had great command (6% walk rate) but posted the lowest strikeout rate of his career outside his rookie season, and his 1.52 HR/9 was the third worst among qualified pitchers. Every pitch in the 28-year-old's arsenal (curveball, four-seamer, sinker, changeup) diminished in terms of xwOBA and whiff rate compared to 2021. However, batters chased more against Berrios this season than the previous two, and his pitch movement was solid around the board. His sinker and fastball usage probably hurt him, though. Berrios threw the sinker 25.8% of the time in 2022 after a 29.6% mark last season and increased his fastball usage by 1.2%, his worst offering. It hurt his ground ball rate, which fell to 40.7%, compared to a career percentage of 42%. After June, Berrios used his sinker more and fastball less, which helped produce a 43.9% ground ball rate, 1.20 HR/9, and 3.96 FIP the rest of the way. Keeping that trend going into 2023 would help the righty's ERA, and although he might not be a strikeout pitcher again, he definitely has the stuff to maintain a strikeout rate above 20%. Berrios' batted ball data wasn't pretty (15th-percentile barrel rate, 13th-percentile average exit velocity), but he's overcome high barrel rates before (9.1% in 2021) and owned an 88.3 average exit velocity over the final three months. Also, his .328 BABIP is bound to recover, as the Jays should have one of the better defenses with their offseason moves thus far. Fantasy managers are drafting Berrios around pick 237, but he could easily outperform his draft spot next season.
