He struggled his way to a 6.34 ERA after the All-Star break, as his walk rate rose to 9.7 percent. Lefties absolutely crushed Foltynewicz at his new home in SunTrust Park, combining for a .344/.421/.492 line, and his effectiveness waned after he turned over a lineup one time. In an effort to quiet his delivery and better repeat his mechanics, Foltynewicz has experimented with pitching exclusively out of the stretch this spring. It is an approach that worked well for Stephen Strasburg last season, but for Foltynewicz, it feels like a last-ditch effort to make it as a starter. At best, he's a road streaming option in mixed leagues to begin 2018."},"mostRecentNews":{"date":"Sat Sep 22","news":"Foltynewicz (12-10) allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out five to pick up the win over the Phillies on Saturday as the Braves clinched the National League East title.","spin":"The 26-year-old has given up more than two runs only twice in his last 10 starts. Foltynewicz shut out the Phillies through the first seven innings, but he put two runners on base on the eighth who scored after he departed. He has a 2.88 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP this season, and he currently lines up to face the Mets on the road Thursday in his final regular-season start."},"fullName":"Mike Foltynewicz","playerRater30DAY":3.5,"playerRater15DAY":4.4,"playerId":4293}
