Henderson is a buy — the strikeout stuff is real and earned.

His expected ERA is 2.74, well below the league average of 4.10, and that number has been stepping down across the season rather than bouncing around. He strikes out 29.6% of batters and walks just 5.1% — both well past the point where those rates become reliable, and both on the right side of league average. He gets swings on 14.1% of pitches outside the zone's neighborhood and misses bats at a 14.1% swinging-strike clip, above the 11% league mark. Nothing here is being propped up by luck on balls in play; the contact he allows is genuinely weak — .257 expected wOBA allowed against a .315 league average. The fastball sits 93.1 mph, below league, but the command and the swing-and-miss say the results are his. Buy. 0 K ROS is a wait, but a 2.74 ERA and 1.02 WHIP make him an asset worth acquiring now.
