Ranger Suárez News
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez earned his eighth win of the season with seven shutout innings at Miami. Suarez scattered six hits and picked up nine K's to cap a brilliant season. That sound you hear is applause for one of the most unlikely fantasy baseball heroes you'll ever see. Suarez was not even with the Phillies at the start of Spring Training due to travel restrictions. He joined the team in May as a long reliever and climbed the bullpen ranks all the way to closer, where he went 4-for-4 in save chances. He was transitioned to the starting rotation and pitched to a 1.51 ERA across 12 starts. Add it all up, and Suarez posted the best ERA (1.36) of any pitcher with 100-plus innings since Bruce Sutter in 1977. Suarez will be on a ton of championship rosters.
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez turned in his best effort of the season on Saturday as he threw a complete-game shutout versus the Pirates. Suarez scattered just four singles and didn't walk a batter while picking up seven strikeouts, needing only 97 pitches to go the distance. The 25-year-old lefty has been excellent in every role for the Phillies this season; he started the season in long relief before climbing the bullpen ranks and even picked up four saves as the closer. The Phillies moved him to the starting rotation and he's been superb as he became a must-start SP for fantasy. Suarez will carry a sparkling 1.45 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and a 98:32 K:BB into a huge game versus the Braves.
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez was the tough-luck loser on Monday night despite tossing six strong innings versus the Orioles. Suarez had a rough first inning as he allowed three straight singles to let in two runs. That was all Baltimore could muster versus Suarez who settled in nicely after that rocky inning. On the night, Suarez needed 102 pitches to complete six innings, picking up five strikeouts along the way, but it wasn't enough to avoid a loss as the Phillies were shut down by John Means and two Baltimore relievers. Suarez will carry a pristine 1.60 ERA and 1.06 WHIP into another soft matchup with the Pirates. He's a must-start fantasy asset in all leagues.

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.
