Analysis of the 2022 MLB National League Central Season – The Wine Sparrows compete for the hegemony, the Cubs are behind, and the Reds and Pirates enjoy the shade-MLB-Baseball

The 2022 MLB new season is about to start. Compared with the quietness of the leading group, the Cardinals Brewers, the Cubs, which have just been sold, are active in the free market. The new season of the National League Central seems to be more exciting than last year, and this article will use five The team’s record last year was the bottom, compared with the adjustment of combat power brought about by the changes in the off-season, and measured the team’s floor and developability.

Pittsburgh Pirates: Still no win

Rotation: Quintana+ Mitch Keller+ Bryse Wilson+ JT Brubaker + Thompson

First let me show you a number: 4.48, and this is the FIP value of Quintana, who is expected to be the number one starter in the pirate rotation. It can be seen how miserable their rotation is. They and the following Brubaker, Thompson and others are also used for the number of games, as long as they vote well, they will follow Last year’s Tyler Anderson was sold as well, and when the group left, the combat power was even worse. Therefore, compared to the record, the focus is still on the rookies, including Roansy Contreras, who is currently delegated to the minor leagues and ranked 42nd in the top 100, Keller, who is about to recover, and Wilson, who had a brilliant performance in the 2020 National League Championship but was abandoned by the Warriors. The latter relies on four seams and a curve ball, but the speed of the two itself is not very good, so the quality is not expected to be high; Keller is a good speed, but the curve ball swing rate is only 12%, how much does the Pirates have for him? Patience is worth watching.

後援 : David Bednar (CL)& Hembree& Chris Stratton& Wil Crowe

For the backup part, Stratton and Crowe are both long-term repeaters or backup starters. Hembree and Anthony Banda may be in the winning group. Their combat strength is acceptable but only acceptable. It is worth mentioning that the terminator Bednar, in 20 years. Abandoned by the priest, unexpectedly after coming to the pirates, he turned around to raise the four stitches by 1 mile, combined with the forks and curve balls with the same vertical direction but different displacements, became a strong backup for the K/9 score to break through 11 , if it can maintain its performance, it will definitely be a popular candidate in the trading market, and maybe the priest will buy it back at a high price.

The attacking part is the same, the players who are signed or traded are basically to find a cheap player who is okay and see if they can sell at a good price in July, includingYoshitomo TsutsugoIt is also a product of the same thinking, but I don’t quite understand why I found Vogelbach, who is also a Platoon and is also not well-defended or worse, when I already have a tsunami. Is it because I want to reduce the unemployment rate? The interesting point comes back to trades and rookies. Let’s talk about trades first. The most popular Reynolds is Reynolds. At the age of 27, he was also selected for the All-Star Game last year. He can keep the control of China and foreign countries plus four years. The value of the transaction can be imagined. No matter how stupid the pirates are, they will not miss it. Opportunities to scour the opponent’s farm; as for the rookies, Cruz is particularly eye-catching. Although he failed to make the opening roster, Raw Power, who has a perfect score in the scouting report, is very much looking forward to his long-term fire.

summary

Generally speaking, the starting rotation is a complete tragedy. A small amount of fun is to see if Keller and Wilson can save themselves and to see their opponents play the line and swipe the data to fight for their worth. As for the “relative” stability of the bullpen, Bednar deserves attention; Okay,Furnace master’s hegemony is as stable as a rockI can only hope that Cruz, who has a high ceiling, can break through the cocoon as soon as possible and use a home run to save the fans. As for why other players can’t, firstly, they are not strong enough, and secondly, they will leave at the end of July after they hit.

Cincinnati Reds: The cheapskate swallows the game

Last year’s record: 83W79L (3rd)

Last year’s review: Under the strong performance of Winker & Castellanos, the Redskins occupied the second place in the wild card list for a long time. However, under the influence of injuries, not only Winker but even the main players in the bullpen such as Tejay Antone turned on the dean mode, and finally let the ball go. The varsity line was sluggish, and eventually became a funeral item for the Cardinals under the 17-game winning streak, so the owner of the Reds gave up the idea of ​​continuing to fight……
