Drohan is a buy — his xERA is .74 below league and stable.

His expected ERA is 3.36, a strong .74 below league average, and the sample of 292 batters faced is past the point where that number becomes reliable. His velocity is stepping up, now at 94.8 mph, and his hard-hit rate allowed is 37.9%, below the league 40.0%. His barrel rate allowed is 8.9%, slightly above league, but his chase rate is 34.5% — well above the 28.5% average — and his swinging-strike rate is 13.7% (league 11.0%). Both are stable and signal real stuff. His xwOBA allowed at .286 is .029 below league. His walk rate is 6.8%, below league, and his strikeout rate is right around league average. The skill is real, the metrics are stable, and the production is earned. Buy. 36 K with a 3.36 ERA and 1.26 WHIP make him a deep-league asset worth adding now.
