Bieber graded out pretty well by that.

This Astros team saw a bunch of them.

Now, a lot of that sample is going to be back from when he was with the Guardians pre-TJ.

They have hit collectively 382 against them with a 545 slug.

Christian Vasquez, Jordan Alvarez, and Yanar Diaz.

have all had pretty good results.

Isak Paredes and Jake Myers have not.

On the other side, Peter Lambert has a .323 RA, and you might, even though he's 29, he's been around the majors, it might not be...

a name that you recognize, in part because he was out of Major League Baseball last year, pitching in Japan, and in larger part because he had a 628 ERA over five seasons with the Rockies before that.

And, you know, short of the Rocktober moments, the Rockies were probably out of sight, out of mind, given the quality of that organization over the last couple years.

He...

Didn't have crazy numbers in Japan, 426 ERA, and he had to start this year in AAA, but it's been pretty effective so far.

The underlying metrics show him as kind of a high threes, low fours guy, so nothing too deceptive with a 323 ERA.

Similar to Bieber last year, he's not going to blow you away with stuff, but he's a pretty good location guy.

Doesn't get a ton of swing and miss, the batted ball.

He's just very average across the board.

Actually, when we look at things like his stack cast numbers and the pitch design metrics and things like that,

He is also split neutral, which is, I don't know, there's a pretty good sample here at this point.

We're talking about parts of six major league seasons.

Throws 94, will mix fastball, slider, sinker, changeup, slurve, and cutter.
