Line: 8 IP | 3 H | 0 ER | 0 BB | 7 K; W | QS
My fantasy perspective: In 71 innings pitched as a starter, Collmenter has gone 4-5 with a 2.92 ERA, 1.00 WHIP with 47 strikeouts (6.0 K/9) and just 15 walks (3.13 K/BB). Overall, batters are hitting just .206 against him with a measly .306 slugging percentage.
Collmenter's unorthodox style of pitching has been linked to his successful start. It will be interesting to see how he performs as teams get a chance to face him more often. Just 22.5% owned in ESPN and 29% owned in Yahoo! leagues, he could be spot-started against teams who haven't faced him yet.
Question: At just 25 years old, does the future look bright for Collmenter or is he a one-trick pony (unique pitching style) who'll be figured out sooner than later? Please leave a comment with your thoughts.

Having traded both Collmenter and Worley in the last month for limited return, I hope I was right on the "one-trick pony" guess.
ReplyDeleteTommy Hanson of the Atlanta Braves has an odd delivery, too, and he's thrived.
