JT Brubaker Stats

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher JT Brubaker has been named the team's starter for Opening Day against the St. Louis Cardinals. The 28-year-old got off to a fantastic start to the 2021 season. Over five starts in April, he pitched 27 1/3 innings and posted a 2.63 ERA while striking out 30 batters and walking just five. However, things progressively got worse for him as the season went on. He posted a 9.47 ERA over four starts in August, then went on to miss the rest of the season with a thumb injury. By season's end, he had gone 5-13 with a 5.36 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP. If he were with another ball club, he may have been someone worth watching for fantasy purposes, but he has too many questions and the Pirates won't generate much run support for him either. He can remain undrafted in just about all fantasy drafts this spring.
