Shane Bieber Stats

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Shane Bieber was shelled in his first start of May, which came against the Toronto Blue Jays last Saturday. He lasted 3 1/3 innings and allowed eight hits, three walks and seven earned runs while failing to record a single strikeout. The 26-year-old has shown concerning velocity dips this year, averaging just 90.6 mph on his four-seamer, but his outcomes weren't bad before last Saturday's start. He went 1-1 with a 2.45 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP over five starts in April. He currently has a strikeout rate of just 21.5%, down from 33.1% last year, and he's allowing a barrel rate of 13.4%, up from 9% last year. We'll see if he's able to bounce back in his next trip to the mound against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Shane Bieber fell to 1-1 despite earning a quality start in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Angels. Bieber pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on seven hits (including two home runs) and two walks with six strikeouts. The 26-year-old has gotten good results overall this season with a 2.82 ERA over 22 1/3 IP. However, his velocity is still down on all of his pitches and his 22 strikeouts are not at the rate fantasy managers have come to expect. There is no reason to think that Bieber can't continue to be a useful fantasy starter, but it remains to be seen if he can be as valuable as he has been in the past with his diminished velocity. He is next slated to face the A's on the road.
