Sabrowski is a sell-high — ERA is BABIP smoke.

The ERA says 1.71, but limited data: this call rests on the first stable sample of the season. His BABIP-against is .200, 95 points below the league average of .295. BABIP-against needs around 800 balls in play to be reliable, and he has 31. That gap is luck, not skill. Strip out the luck and his expected ERA is 2.46 — nearly three-quarters of a run higher than the box score. He does strike out 47% of batters, which is elite and stable past 70 TBF, but the run-prevention number is being flattered by the unreliable BABIP. When the bounces normalize, the ERA goes up. Sell high. 55 K with a 3.69 ERA and 1.24 WHIP projects as a deep-league sell-high asset before regression hits.
