Robbie Ray News
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Robbie Ray has been underwhelming to say the least in the follow-up to his 2021 AL Cy Young award-winning season. Over nine starts on the year, he's gone 4-4 with a 4.77 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. We've seen his strikeout rate decrease from 32.1% last year to 25.8% this year while his walk rate has increased from 6.7% last year to 8.9% this year. Ray's been better at inducing strikeouts so far in May than he was in April. He's averaging 11.8 K/9 over four starts this month, up from 7.7 across five starts last month. However, his ERA has moved in the wrong direction as he pitched to a 4.15 ERA in April and he has a 5.55 ERA so far in May. He'll be making his final start of the month on Wednesday in a favorable matchup against the Oakland Athletics.
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Robbie Ray broke out in a big way in 2021, but he has not shown the same level of performance so far this season. Through seven starts, Ray has a 3-3 record with a 4.22 ERA, a 1.17 WHIP, and 41 strikeouts in 42 2/3 innings. That adds up to a decent enough stat line, but it's somewhat alarming that Ray is only striking out 8.65 batters per nine innings when his career rate is 11.11 K/9, and he hasn't struck out less than 11.25 batters per nine innings since 2015. In his most recent outing, Ray did whiff ten hitters, and he'll look to continue making hitters miss against the Mets on Saturday at Citi Field.
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Robbie Ray's breakout 2021 campaign was fueled by his strikeout prowess. He led the majors with 248 strikeouts. His 32.1% strikeout rate ranked in the top 7% of the league and he averaged a sturdy 11.5 K/9. Through four starts so far this year, Ray has been unable replicate last year's bat-missing success. He has just 18 strikeouts over 25.1 innings, which amounts to 6.4 K/9. His 17.6% strikeout rate ranks in the 27th percentile. Ray's decreased velocity this year has been highly publicized and that's certainly one of the contributing factors to his lack of whiffs. The average velocity on his four-seamer is down from 94.8 mph last year to 92.2 mph this year. Ray has posted quality starts in three of his four outings, so it's not like we're witnessing a complete breakdown from the 30-year-old. However, fantasy managers have good reason to be concerned about the 2021 AL Cy Young winner at this point.
