Lynch’s ERA is solid at 2.91. That said, his FIP is much worse at 4.74, and his 5.1% K-BB% is paltry as well. For the year, he’s posting a 99 TJ Stuff+ with his slider (101) and changeup (104) rating as above-average pitches, based on TJ Stuff+. Additionally, his zone rate is 51.1% and xwOBACON is .340, which is a lot better than what he showed today.
Nonetheless, the 28-year-old lefty isn’t great when it comes to generating chase (26.4%) or whiffs (21.6%). He also seems to be behind Angel Zerpa when it comes to left-handed high-leverage usage. That makes one wonder if Lynch will still be in Kansas City next year, as he begins his first year of arbitration eligibility.
