Connelly Early | Fantasy Outlook

Rookie Connelly Early struggles with long ball ahead of tough matchup in Seattle

The last-place Red Sox have kept Connelly Early in the rotation as their number four starter, especially with multiple starting pitchers on the injured list. However, the rookie has struggled heavily of late, posting an 8.57 ERA and a bloated 2.62 WHIP over his last two starts. Recent news highlights his major vulnerability to the long ball, having surrendered 14 home runs over his last 11 outings.

While Early's recent ratio inflation is alarming, our models project him for a more stable 3.72 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over the rest of the season. His year-to-date 3.94 ERA over 73.1 innings suggests his current slide is a temporary rough patch rather than a total collapse. Expect his home run-to-flyball rate to normalize, eventually bringing his ratios back to respectable levels.

Early is scheduled for just one remaining start this week on Saturday at Seattle. He faces a tough matchup against Emerson Hancock, who boasts a strong 3.28 ERA and 1.02 WHIP. Given Early's current form and high ratio risk, fantasy managers should leave him on the bench for this turn. Verdict: Sit.
