Here’s the fourth installment of Two-Start Treasures. Some of my tracking schedule got behind this past week, so I apologize to our readers. If you missed the last TST post, you can find it here. With this new feature, I thought it would be fun to include with my tracking the UTR pitchers who made two starts within the week and dominated. I used to do this during our time providing content to MLBDepthCharts.com (now RosterResources.com) when it was just a Pitcher of the Week feature. Now that I throw a list of pitchers at our readers each day, really good back-to-back outings could get lost in the mix. Plus, a pitcher might have been solid in two starts, but didn’t make the daily mention due to being bumped.
So, let’s look back at the two-starters from May 1st to May 8th. As always, I’m throwing in the best Relief performance too. Seasons Stats are based through May 8th. The next TST installment (May 9 to May 15) will be posted tomorrow.
