Chris Bassitt has a home-run problem NickAshbourne
After a pair of rough outings Bassitt now has a 4.16 ERA, with peripherals that are even less impressive as his xERA sits at 4.49 and his FIP is now 4.99. This could just be a blip dragging down Bassitt's results, but a deeper look reveals some red flags that predate his last two outings.Via FanGraphs
Entering the season, his ability to limit home runs was a legitimate concern. Bassitt entered 2023 with a career HR/9 of 0.60 at home while working in pitcher-friendly parks, and a 1.25 mark away. That played a major role in his significant home-road ERA splits . All of this should sort itself out to some extent. Bassitt hasn't suddenly forgotten how to hug the corners and expand the strike zone to minimize damage off the bat. At the same time, the home runs remain a real question.
