Ranger Suárez News
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez continued his strong start in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Rockies. Suarez pitched a complete game shutout, allowing seven hits and a walk with eight strikeouts. The 28-year-old is now 3-0 with a 1.73 ERA, a 9.35 K/9 rate, and a 1.38 BB/9 rate in his first four starts. He is rostered in 67% of leagues, so fantasy managers should pick him up if available. He will look to keep things rolling in his next start, which projects to be a tougher matchup at the Reds.
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez struck out eight Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday, launching six scoreless innings of two-hit ball with two walks en route to his second win during the 5-1 victory. Other than the free passes and a couple of innocuous singles, Suarez cruised through a formidable Pirates lineup that entered the day fifth in the major leagues in runs scored (69). Through three starts, the 28-year-old Venezuelan left-hander owns an excellent 2.65 ERA, 0.71 WHIP, and 19:3 K:BB after tossing 15 scoreless innings of Grapefruit League play during spring training. Suarez will be a great streaming option in all season-long fantasy leagues and a popular DFS choice when he takes the mound for Tuesday's scheduled start at home versus the visiting Colorado Rockies, who are hitting only .218 and scoring just 3.4 runs per game over seven outings away from Coors Field so far this year.
Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez wasn't bad by any means, but he didn't pitch well enough to help his team win Game 7 of the National League Championship Series on Tuesday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Suarez allowed three earned runs on six hits while walking none and striking out six in 4 2/3 innings. It was the first time that the 28-year-old southpaw had allowed three runs in his first nine postseason outings. It was his worst start of his playoff career, but the left-hander was still excellent this year in October, posting a 1.93 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 19 strikeouts in 18 2/3 innings over his four starts against the Atlanta Braves and Diamondbacks.

Utilized primarily as a reliever until the second half of 2021, Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez broke out to the tune of an 8-5 record, a 1.36 ERA, a 1.00 WHIP, and 107 strikeouts over 106 innings pitched. Over 12 starts, all after the All-Star break, Surez posted a 3-2 record to go with a 1.51 ERA, and 1.08 WHIP over 65 2/3 IP. Heavy reliance on his sinker, changeup, and four-seam fastball with solid movement (albeit average velocity of 93.7 mph), resulted in a 31.4% hard-hit rate and 3% barrel rate which were in the top 7% and 2% in all of MLB, respectively. His slider generated a launch angle of negative 1% and his changeup generated a launch angle of just 4%. This resulted in a high ground ball rate of 59.7% (well ahead of the MLB average of 45.1%) and a low line drive rate of 16.8%. Soft contact coupled with a high ground ball rate helped Surez keep the ball in the yard, where he allowed just four homers in 2021. His xwOBA of just .250 was tenth in all of MLB, and behind just two other starting pitchers (Jacob deGrom and Corbin Burnes). Additionally, an xERA of 2.62 and xBA of .204 further supported his 2021 breakout. Surez currently has a somewhat low ADP of 168, primarily fueled by uncertainty as to whether his 2021 breakout was legitimate. Prior to 2021, Surez only threw 67 2/3 IP in the majors, and, given the fact that he had just 12 starts in 2021, there is, admittedly, not too much history to go on here. That said, his underlying metrics are reminiscent of the proven, ground-ball heavy Marcus Stroman currently being drafted around pick 160. Surez should build off of 2021 as he enters the Phillies rotation and post a strikeout per inning to go with solid ratios and 170-180 IP in 2022. He could also potentially far exceed these projections (and his current ADP) if he takes the next step.
