■ Perfect even if the Cy Young Award Ray is missed

The Blue Jays pitchers who marked an ERA of 3.79 in 6th place in all majors last season. The article said, “Cy Young Award-winning Robbie Ray has left the team, but it is possible to have more rotation than last season.”

As a basis for this, we evaluated the new forces of José Berríos, Kevin Gaussmann, and Kikuchi (Berríos joined at the end of July last season). Regarding Kikuchi, he pointed out that he made a great pitch in the first half of last season and recorded an ERA of 3.48, but in the second half he dropped to an ERA of 5.98. “The team wants Kikuchi to be like Steven Matz (who won 14 wins last season) (St. Louis Cardinals from this season),” he said.

Matz was nominated second by Mets in the 2009 draft and started his professional career. However, after that, he had a Tommy John operation and had a long experience playing as a minor. He had 11 wins (10 losses), which he marked in 2019, but when he transferred to the Blue Jays last season, he scored 14 wins (7 losses), and his talent has blossomed in earnest. Kikuchi is also expected to recover from the sluggish performance of the latter half of last season, like Matz, who has regained his tone in the new world.

The article also focuses on the growth of young people such as Alek Manoah, who broke last season, and Nate Pearson, who was once a candidate for ace. He pushed the drum to secure a fulfilling rotation.
