FACTS/FLUKES: Stripling, Rendon, Gennett, Velasquez, D. Peralta

Is Stripling an emerging ace? … Ross Stripling (RHP, LA) made just two starts in 2017, as he compiled a 3.75 ERA in 74 IP. He began 2018 in the bullpen, but injuries opened the door for him to join the starting rotation on April 30 and he hasn’t looked back, delivering a stellar 2.37 ERA in ten starts. How are the underlying metrics?
