Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Brandon Pfaadt looked terrific on the mound during Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The right-hander threw six innings, allowing five hits, and striking out 11 batters during a no-decision. The D-Backs would end up winning the game, but they didn't get the lead until Pfaadt was already done for the day. The hope is that this performance will help Pfaadt improve his 4.63 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. His next outing will be against the San Diego Padres next weekend.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Brandon Pfaadt had a rollercoaster night in Monday's 5-3 loss against the St. Louis Cardinals. Pfaadt pitched 5 innings while allowing two hits, and two runs with three walks and four strikeouts. The 25-year-old pitcher has been able to mellow out the runs in recent starts but still has an ERA of 4.97 in 29 innings pitched with 17 runs, four homers, six walks, and 27 strikeouts. He will be facing the Seattle Mariners in his next start which isn't a bad matchup at all, and he remains a solid starting option throughout all leagues with his strikeout capabilities

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Brandon Pfaadt has been roughed up in a small sample so far in Cactus League action. He's made just three outings and pitched a total of only 5 2/3 innings but has allowed seven earned runs on eight hits, including a homer, and one walk in that time while only striking out a pair. He also hasn't pitched in a big-league spring game since March 10 as he is running out of time to build up his innings for the regular season. Projected to line up as the D-backs' fourth starter, the 25-year-old posted a 5.72 ERA alongside a solid 16.2% K-BB% across 19 outings (18 starts) in the big leagues last season and also worked to a 3.71 ERA and a 20.8% K-BB% in 12 Triple-A starts. His control is excellent but he is a big fly-ball pitcher who is susceptible to the long ball, putting a damper on his fantasy value.
