Zach Plesac News
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac struck out seven Kansas City Royals over seven innings of work while allowing two hits and no earned runs in a 7-2 victory Tuesday night. This was Plesac's best start since the beginning of May and helped him earn his ninth win of the season. That being said, he is still a risky option for fantasy teams in the playoffs and draws a tough matchup at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday.
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac allowed two earned runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out four across 5 2/3 innings pitched in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Texas Rangers. Plesac was not sharp in this one despite earning the win and now has a 6.33 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in August through five starts. He should only be streamed in solid matchups moving forward and next week's start against the Kansas City Royals should hopefully be one of those.
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac allowed two earned runs while striking out nine across 7 2/3 innings pitched in a 7-4 win over the Detroit Tigers Friday night. Plesac earned the win in this one to move to 7-4 on the season and it was nice to see him rebound after allowing four earned runs or more in three of his previous four starts. He will carry a 4.64 ERA into his next start against the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday.

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac took a big leap forward in his sophomore season posting a 2.28 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, and 57 strikeouts in 55 1/3 innings. The right-hander may have been a tad lucky as his FIP (3.39) and xFIP (3.50) were both a full run higher than his ERA. A look under the hood, however, reveals a starter who may be on the verge of a full-season breakout. Plesac posted a strong 27.7 percent strikeout rate and induced swinging strikes on 14.5 percent of his pitches, both improvements over his rookie year. Most importantly, he stopped issuing free-passes, cutting his walk rate over 5.5 percent from 2019. Despite the small sample, there is evidence to support Plesac's sharp improvement. He cut his four-seamer usage by 13 percent and started throwing more sliders and changeups, superior pitches in Plesac's arsenal. The slider generated a superb 42.7 percent swinging-strike rate and had just a .069 batting average against. His changeup allowed a .125 batting average against and was the primary factor in Plesac's improved numbers versus left-handed batters. He's a tad risky since his breakout came in the shortened-season, but a pitcher with Plesac's upside should be drafted in the top-60 picks of fantasy drafts.
