Reiss Knehr Stats

San Diego Padres pitcher Reiss Knehr has been named the team's starting pitcher for their final game of the year against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. The 24-year-old has made four starts and seven relief appearances for the Padres this year. He's spent the bulk of the year in the minors, making 19 appearances across Double-A and Triple-A. Over his 11 games with the Padres this year, he has gone 1-1 with a 4.85 ERA, a 1.46 WHIP and a 1.0 K/BB ratio. He's given up a lot of hard contact (42.9% hard-hit rate) and his 5.33 xERA suggests he's been a bit lucky with his overall results so far.

San Diego Padres right-hander Reiss Knehr has been recalled from the minors to start the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves. He will serve as the 27th man for the doubleheader. This will be Knehr's second career major league start after he allowed two earned runs while walking four and striking out three in 3 2/3 innings in his MLB debut on July 9 against the Colorado Rockies at home. The Friars No. 12 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, has natural strikeout tendencies, but he needs to show better control of his offerings to succeed in longer stints as a starter pitcher at the big league level. Knehr had a 3.90 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 46/22 K/BB in 11 starts at Double-A Antonio this year. The 24-year-old will be a pretty shaky streamer in DFS and season-long leagues in his second major league start.

San Diego Padres right-hander Reiss Knehr is on the team's taxi squad and seems likely to start on Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves. However, who starts on Tuesday could depend on the weather situation on Monday and Tuesday. Knehr had a decent MLB debut earlier this month against the Colorado Rockies when he allowed two runs in 3 2/3 innings in a spot start. The team's No. 12 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, has gone 6-2 with a 4.03 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 47/25 K/BB in 58 innings over 12 starts for Double-A San Antonio and Triple-A El Paso in the minors in 2021. The right-hander could have a future as a reliever in the big leagues, but for now he'll just be a shaky streaming option in deeper leagues if he starts on Tuesday against a Braves team without Ronald Acuna Jr.
