Shane Bieber News
Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Shane Bieber was sharp on Thursday as his club defeated the White Sox 4-2. He gave up two runs on seven hits over 7 2/3 IP while striking out five and walking nobody to take his record to 12-8 on the campaign. Bieber gave up a run in the first when Eloy Jimenez singled in a run, but didn't allow another until Gavin Sheets led off the eighth with a solo homer as he retired 13 batters in a row at one point. The 27-year-old has put together a productive season with a 2.81 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and a 189/35 K/BB through 189 IP as he looks ahead to his next start versus the Rays.
Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Shane Bieber struck out 11 batters on Thursday, although he settled for the loss as the Orioles defeated his club 3-0. He was done in by the long ball as Cedric Mullins took him deep to begin the ball game for one of three solo shots he gave up during the contest. He would allow six hits and one walk over his seven frames of work, throwing 70 of his 104 pitches for strikes. Bieber's record now sits at 8-8 with a 3.06 ERA and 1.08 WHIP through 159 IP on the year. He'll look to get back above the .500 mark when his club visits the Royals in Kansas City next week.
Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Shane Bieber allowed two runs, eight hits, and zero walks over seven innings of work during his outing against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday.

He has racked up a solid 9.09 K/9 and 1.88 BB/9, as well as a career-best 0.71 HR/9. The 27-year-old right-hander should continue to be rostered in all fantasy baseball leagues.

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.
