Shane Bieber News
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Shane Bieber went six innings while allowing one earned run on five hits and two walks and striking out five in Tuesday night's 10-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals are a tougher team to strike out so there is no reason to be down on him for striking out just five here. He has been solid as expected in 2021 and will carry a 2.96 ERA with 122 strikeouts across 85 innings pitched into his start Sunday against the Seattle Mariners.
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Shane Bieber recorded seven strikeouts across seven innings pitched while allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks in Tuesday night's 6-5 win over the Chicago White Sox. Bieber is now 6-3 on the season and has posted a 3.08 ERA with 117 strikeouts across 79 innings pitched. He has been a rock for fantasy teams this season despite a few hiccups along the way and should continue to dominate most nights.
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Shane Bieber went seven innings pitched allowing one run on one hit and four walks while striking out 12 in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Detroit Tigers. Bieber was flirting with a no-hitter until the seventh inning when he allowed a solo shot to Jonathan Schoop. It was nice to see Bieber get back on track in this one as he had not struck out double-digit batters in his previous four starts. He will carry a 3.13 ERA and 110 strikeouts across 72 innings pitched into his next start against the White Sox next week.

After putting together an ace-level 2019 season, Cleveland Indians starting pitcherShane Bieber took things to a whole new level in the shortened 2020 season, bringing home the American League Cy Young Award. He posted a monstrous 41.1% strikeout rate while keeping the walks at a strong 7.1% rate. As if that wasn't enough, he raised his ground-ball rate to a career-best 48.4%. Our main question for 2021 is how much of this repeatable? The strikeout rate being above 40% is not going to happen again, but there is room for the walks to improve, as his 7.1% walk rate was more than two points higher than his 2019 rate of 4.7%. Bieber seems to have benefitted massively from two things in 2020: the first being a really high 35.9% chase rate, and the second being lots of weak contact (his xwOBA came in at an elite .242). His improvement in ground-ball rate is more believable when you see that he increased his curveball usage last season at the expense of some four-seamers and sliders, but the other quality-of-contact numbers will be much tougher to repeat. There is regression coming in 2021, but he'll remain a strong SP1 for fantasy managers after his incredible 2020 campaign. It may not be justified to take Bieber as the first pitcher off the board, but you will not be disappointed if you end up with him anchoring your pitching staff in 2021.
