MLB Stars at a Crucial Juncture: Who Will Rise from the Ashes and Who Will Fade Away?
Kenta Maeda, Detroit Tigers: One thing the Tigers have to love during spring training: Maeda is missing bats again. His whiff+ fell from 101 in 2023 to just 77 in 2024, a drop shown clearly in more traditional stats: His K/9 rate dipped from 10.1 to 7.7 in his first year with Detroit. In four outings this spring, the veteran right-hander struck out 19 in 12.2 innings.
Miles Mikolas, St. Louis Cardinals: Since 1961, there have been 89 seasons when a pitcher qualified for the ERA title with a BB/9 of 1.31 or better. Mikolas has two of those seasons, which is impressive. In 2018, the right-hander had a 2.83 ERA and allowed 8.3 hits per 9.0 innings. In 2024, he had a 5.35 ERA – highest of any of those 89 seasons – and 10.2 hits per 9.0 innings. Throwing strikes is good, but he has to figure out a way to compensate for the velo he’s lost.
