Anthony Nunez

Nunez is a hold — the strikeout stuff is real, the results are average.

His expected ERA is 3.81, close enough to the league average of 4.10 that there is no edge to chase in either direction. The swing-and-miss is real and the sample backs it: a 25.8% strikeout rate, a 15.8% swinging-strike rate, and a chase rate of 35.5% are all well above league average and past the point where those numbers become reliable. The problem is the walk rate — 10.9%, nearly three points above league — and that is a number he cannot shake. His xERA has been stepping down across the sample, so the command may be catching up to the stuff. Nothing here is unstable. Nothing here is a buy or a sell. Hold. A deep-league hold at 6 K and 3.77 ERA — streamable in a pinch, not worth chasing as a roster asset.
