MLB Spring Training All-Stars: Pitchers

Yesterday I took a look at which batters were ripping up the Cactus and Grapefruit Leagues.

So naturally, today I will look at which pitchers are in midseason form.

Here are the spring training All-Star pitchers. Stats are through March 25, 2010.

SP: Tim Hudson, Atlanta Braves—3-1 with a 1.35 ERA and 17 K’s in 20.1 IP

Hudson is fully recovered now from Tommy John surgery and could turn into the Braves’ ace as the season moves along. Last time Hudson was completely healthy, he did win 16 games.

SP: Roy Halladay, Philadelphia Phillies—1-0 with a 0.90 ERA, 14 K’s, and six hits allowed in 10 IP

I mean, is this even fair? Going from the brutally tough AL East to the mediocre at best NL East, Halladay should carve up the NL this year.

SP: Kevin Slowey, Minnesota Twins—3-0 with a 0.56 ERA, eight hits allowed, and 15 K’s in 16 IP

My friend Chad’s man crush, Slowey is performing like a surgeon this spring. Slowey is looking to make 30 starts for the first time in his career in 2010.

SP: Jorge De La Rosa, Colorado Rockies—2-1 with a 1.86 ERA, 13 hits allowed, and 16 K’s in 19.1 IP

De La Rosa is following up his breakout 2009 with a solid spring. He has only walked four batters in those 19.1 IP, so if he has learned to harness his control, watch out.

SP: Ricky Nolasco, Florida Marlins—2-0 with a 2.50 ERA and 19 K’s in 18 IP

Nolasco has been a strikeout machine this spring. Nolasco had a much better second half last year than first half, so it looks like he is carrying that over to 2010. The Marlins will need him in 2010 if they want to compete for a playoff spot.

SP: Brian Matusz, Baltimore Orioles—1-2 with a 3.10 ERA, 16 hits allowed, and 19 K’s in 20.1 IP

Matusz has pitched very well this spring. A lot of the Orioles’ future success will be based on the development of their top prospects like Matusz.

RP: Mike Adams, San Diego Padres—0.00 ERA with one hit allowed and seven K’s in six IP

Raise your hand if you knew Adams had a 0.73 ERA in 37 innings for the Padres last year. That’s what I thought. Last year wasn’t a fluke either, as he had a 2.48 ERA in 54 innings the year before. The man is an assassin.
