Average innings pitched for a starter was 5.24 in 2024. That gives us 849 innings to cover with our SPs. We have used 8 SPs the last 2 seasons. Even with Paddack we are going to use - Lopez, Ryan, Ober, SWR, Paddack, Festa, Matthews, and at least 1 of Raya/Adams. Only Lopez and Ober pitched the full season.
Dan Hayes mentioned they like the depth with Paddack and they weren’t comfortable with the pitching depth last season.
