Relievers with bad xERAs
Jun 23 2024
Last week this column looked at relievers that you want based on what the underlying skill numbers tell us to this point in the season, mainly filtered off xERA. This week, the column looks at relievers who have posted weak xERAs so far with the idea that you may want to trade away a weaker skill set or seek a Plan B behind a closer for a given team.
With that in mind, let's dive straight into five relievers with a xERA at or above a ghastly 4.95 xERA:
| xERA 4.95 | SV | HD | IP | ERA | xERA | WHIP | K% | K-BB% | HR/9 |
| Neris, Hector CHC | 10 | 3 | 26.2 | 4.72 | 5.25 | 1.65 | 20% | 3% | 1.4 |
| Kinley, Tyler COL | 5 | 4 | 28.0 | 9.00 | 5.19 | 1.93 | 24% | 11% | 2.6 |
| Sims, Lucas CIN | 1 | 10 | 23.2 | 4.18 | 4.99 | 1.44 | 26% | 11% | 2.3 |
| Leasure, Jordan CHW | 2 | 8 | 28.2 | 4.08 | 4.99 | 1.40 | 21% | 7% | 1.0 |
| Díaz, Alexis CIN | 16 | 0 | 27.1 | 5.27 | 4.95 | 1.50 | 23% | 7% | 0.3 |
