Reid Detmers News
Los Angeles Angels starter Reid Detmers was impressive in his outing on Friday against the Texas Rangers, going six strong with one run, four hits, nine strikeouts, and one walk. He was the winning pitcher of the 4-1 victory, his seventh in 25 starts. Detmers hasn't been consistent this season, especially with his strikeout numbers, though his 3.77 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 22.6% strikeout rate are stats fantasy managers will take from the rookie. He's not lined up to make another start this season, so dropping him in favor of a waiver wire pickup is probably the wise decision.
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers was impressive on Sunday against the Texas Rangers, allowing just two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks in seven innings to the Texas Rangers. He struck out 12 batters, surpassing by far his previous game high this year of seven strikeouts. Detmers has enjoyed a strong July, putting up a 1.13 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with 31 strikeouts in 24 innings. Despite an up-and-down overall campaign, Detmers retains tantalizing upside and is well worth a look in all formats, though he carries more value in keeper and dynasty leagues.
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers was recalled to take the mound against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. The left-hander went six scoreless innings, two hits allowed, and seven strikeouts in the loss. This was his first start since June 24, so hopefully there is more to come from Detmers. He has done enough to warrant staying in the starting rotation. At the moment, Detmers is only worth rostering in deep leagues, but that could quickly change.

Los Angeles Angels starter Reid Detmers came into 2022 on the heels of posting a 7.40 ERA during his rookie season. He improved his numbers exponentially, producing a 3.77 ERA with seven wins and a 1.21 WHIP over 25 starts. Detmers' 3.79 FIP supports his gains after improving his strikeout rate (18.8% to 22.6%) and walk rate (10.9% to 8.5%). The 23-year-old owned an excellent 29.1% chase rate, and after feeble whiff rates before July, he got whiffs at a 26% clip over the final three months. Considering Detmers' minor league strikeout rate of 43.7%, he should keep progressing in that department. The lefty's arsenal contains four pitches; four-seamer, slider, curveball, and changeup. Detmers kept using his slider more and more this season, reaching a usage rate of 33% in September, and it posted a .204 xBA and 28.7% whiff rate. His most used pitch, the fastball, got better as the year went on, generating more whiffs, especially in July (31.0%) and August (29.9%). It's hard to ignore Detmers' release point change that might be responsible for his growth. In 2021, his average horizontal release point was 2.26 feet, and it kept declining throughout '22, reaching 1.64 feet by the season's end. It's been difficult for Detmers to avoid hard contact, and his 0.91 HR/9 and .231 batting average this year didn't match his 36th-percentile barrel rate and 28th-percentile average exit velocity. However, his potential strikeout numbers and high ceiling outweigh a possibly inflated ERA and WHIP. Fantasy managers should be confident drafting Detmers at his ADP of 221 and hope he can deliver similar numbers to his second half; 3.36 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, and 25.3% strikeout rate.
