Pallante is a buy — skill metrics back his production.

His expected ERA is 3.74, which is 0.36 below the league average of 4.10, and he has faced enough batters for that number to stick. His actual ERA is not inflated by luck — the under-the-hood numbers all point in the same direction. He is suppressing hard contact: hard-hit rate allowed is 35.1% against a league average of 40.0%, and barrel rate allowed is 6.0% versus 8.0% league. Both are well past the stabilization point. Meanwhile his fastball velocity has been stepping up across the sample, now at 95.2 mph, above the league 94.0, and his swing-and-miss and chase rates are respectable. The strikeout rate is below league (17.0% versus 22.0%), but the overall run-prevention skill is real and the sample supports it. Buy. 44 K and a 3.74 ERA suggest a deep-league asset worth acquiring now.
