It’s Week #9 for Two-Start Treasures. If you missed the TST’s from Week #8, you can find it here. I was out-of-town earlier this week, so I’m few days behind in getting this posted.
With this new feature, I thought it would be interesting to include, with my tracking, the UTR pitchers who made two starts within the week and should recieve extra recognition. 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.
As always, I’m throwing in the best Relief performance too. Season’s stats are up to the day of posting. The next TST installment (June 13 to June 19 ) will be posted next Wednesday.
