Who was the 'Worst Pitcher' in Major League Baseball for the 2024 season? If there is a Cy Young Award to win for the best pitcher, this time around, I've created an award for the pitchers who are against it.
It's called "This is a young... award." Short for "This is not a young award," it was established to remember pitchers who played hard for the 2024 season, but left disappointment.
The target is pitchers who threw more than 50 innings regardless of starting pitcher or bullpen role. The standard for scoring support was specifically set at 120 innings or more.
The Cy Young Award is selected only for each league, but for this Young... Award, we decided to choose the winners for each category separately. Wouldn't it be too unfair to give this good award to one person?
the embodiment of defeat
The Boston Red Sox pitcher Cutter Crawford recorded 16 losses, the most among pitchers in the Major League this season. However, we could not blame him. He was the only pitcher who did not skip a single starting rotation among Boston starters in the 2024 season. One thing that was for sure was "steadiness." His career highs were in his starts (33 games), innings (183 2/3 innings), strikeouts (175), WHIP (1.12), and hit rate (0.223).
"I'm not happy at all about giving up so many walks and home runs, but I was able to play in all 33 games thanks to my trainers and coaches," coach Alex Cora said after the season ended. "I proved that I can start in the Major League. Overall, I think he was solid."
a soaring ERA
Bobby Miller, the right-hander of the Los Angeles Dodgers, had a terrible 2024 season. He was placed on the injured list at the beginning of the season due to his shoulder injury, and after his return to the Major League, he posted an 8.52 ERA in 13 games. While pitching 56 innings, he had 17 homers, 30 walks, 52 strikeouts and a 0.305 ERA. He had a tough year, going back and forth between the Major League and Triple-A, and was excluded from the postseason planning. Dodgers already had a hard time due to stellar performance by starting pitchers, but it had an even tougher year due to his poor performance. Anyway, he won the championship.
a home run factory manager
The pitcher who received the most home runs in the Major League this season is Crawford, who was mentioned as the most lost pitcher of the season. He hit 34 home runs. Jose Berrios (Toronto), Griffin Canning (Angels), and Carlos Rodon (Yankees) followed with 31 home runs. He threw that much, which is why he got hit a lot.
So, in terms of the number of homers per nine innings, who has allowed the most? Rothery Munoz, a rookie pitcher for the Miami Marlins who allowed 2.83 homers per nine innings, turned out to have allowed the most by percentage. Munoz has 26 homers in 18 games this season, throwing 8 2/3 innings.
the end of a crisis
It is not easy to hold out as a finishing touch in the Major League. Every season, numerous finishes struggle and get caught up in controversy over confidence. In some cases, they lose their finishing position.
New York Yankees closer Clay Holmes had 30 saves this season, but had 13 blon saves at the same time. This is the highest record in the Major League. He ended up being demoted from the closing position in early September.
San Francisco Giants closer Camilo Doval, who was selected as an All-Star in the 023rd season, showed poor performance with 4.88 ERA in 62 games in the 2024 season and was humiliatingly demoted during the season. Control of ball was the only thing that stopped him. Notably, he posted 5.95 walks per nine innings, which is the worst record in the Major League.
Kyle Finnegan, the Washington Nationals closer, managed to save 38 saves with a 3.68 ERA in 632/3 innings in 65 games, but has 11 pitching clock violations, the most in the league this season. 메이저사이트
an icon of misfortune
No matter how well a pitcher throws, there are times when the result does not match. Luck should follow. Aaron Boomer, the left-hander of the Atlanta Braves, had no luck this season. He recorded the highest number of hits in-play batting average of 0.386 in the league. Perhaps because of that, he showed good performance by posting 0.3 homers, 2.9 walks and 11.2 strikeouts per nine innings, but posted a WHIP of 1.428 hits per nine innings, or 9.9 hits per nine innings.
Left-hander Trevor Rogers, who played for two teams, the Miami Marlins and the Baltimore Orioles this season, only scored 2.68 points per nine innings. He received the least amount of support among pitchers who pitched 120 or more innings. However, his poor performance of 2-11 with a 4.92 ERA in 25 games may not be entirely attributable to his poor performance.
Garrett Crochet, who turned into a starting pitcher this season and became a big hit, also tasted the sadness of the low-ranking ace with 3.08 runs per 9 innings.
