Number seven on Law’s list and number six on Clemens’ list is Blake Snell. He’s a lefty starting pitcher who turns 32 next month. He won the Cy Young in 2023. Last year wasn’t as healthy, he only made 20 starts. He had a 3.12 ERA in 104 innings, with a 34.7% strikeout rate and a 10.5% walk rate, both better than his Cy Young year. The injuries were muscle issues. It sounds like he came into spring training in less-than-perfect shape, which caused him strains when he tried to ramp up. He’s not the most durable pitcher; he’s thrown more than 150 innings just twice in the nine seasons he’s been in the MLB. If you are looking for positives, pitchers who don’t throw a ton of innings in their 20s often age well. But then, often isn’t always. Blake strikes out a ton of batters and walks a lot of batters but gets weak contact when he doesn’t miss bats or the strike zone. We have starters in their 30s. Expecting each to have a good season is hopeful, but if we hope Gausman, Berrios, and Bassitt can continue to defy age, maybe we can bet Snell will, too. But then I’d rather see the team invest in bats and bullpen pitchers. Kieth Law said: Clemens: Clemens figures Snell will get a three-year contract at $35 million a year for a total of $105 million.
