Against great hitters he might be one of the worst pitchers in the league, because he can't execute pitches with enough velocity or movement to fool any of them, and they just tee off.

I'd put it this way: facing a team like the Padres he's probably a lot like Lance Lynn. Facing a team like the Red Sox, he's Mike Maroth.

1) five stars for the Mike Maroth reference

2) it's almost as if FIP and xFIP have some significant flaws and holes...
