“Unveiling the Secret Sauce: Which Surprising Pitchers Are Defying Expectations with Game-Changing Early Stats?”
I was unapologetically excited when MacKenzie Gore struck out 13 Phillies on Opening Day, though a fair amount of observers shrugged. The start time that day perfectly coincided with unfavorable shadows for the hitters.

Gore has been good — not outstanding — in two starts since, a loss to Toronto and a win over the Dodgers. The season adds up to 25 strikeouts against just three walks, a ratio I’m always going to chase. Gore also has pedigree at play — he was the third overall pick in his class and a former top 10 prospect — and it’s the right time for a career year (his age-26 season). If I roster Gore, I’m keeping him. If I don’t, I might be willing to buy high.
