Starting Pitcher Barometer, Week 11: Shutout! At The Disco

FantraxHQ is the official content sponsor of Fantrax.com, the hottest Fantasy Site of 2019 and 2020. We finally got a break from the string of injuries decimating our starting pitcher rankings! Just when we thought it was safe to go back in the water, though…the spin rates crash! Following the announcement that MLB is going to really crack down on pitchers using sticky substances, many starters' spin rates have mysteriously seen a sharp decline. Most notably (of course) Trevor Bauer has seen a steep decline in spin, and most recently, Shane Bieber. Even our aces aren't safe in these murky waters. Whether you think the substance ban is going to be better for the game or not, our fantasy pitching boat is going to take on some water. Curse you and your lifeless eyes, Rob Manfred! Black eyes, like a doll's eyes!
