Drew Anderson
Anderson is a buy — skill metrics are real and improving.
His expected ERA sits at 3.21, nearly a full run below the league average of 4.10, and he has faced enough batters for that number to be reliable. His actual ERA tracks close to that, so the production is earned — no luck propping it up. Underneath, his strikeout rate is 28.8% against a league average of 22.0%, and his swing-and-miss rate (14.8%) is elite. The xERA has been stepping down across the sample, and his fastball velocity has ticked up, making the skill look even better now than the already strong season average. The barrel rate and hard-hit rate allowed are essentially league average, which means the contact management is fine for a high-strikeout profile. The trajectory is pointing the right way. Buy. 30 K / 3.21 ERA / 1.25 WHIP / 1-2 W / 1-2 SV profiles as a deep-league asset — acquire while he's still under the radar.
