FanGraphs does not have a paywall. 2020 Updated In-Season Projections I’d be shocked if Porcello had Wainwright specifically in mind, because that would be weird, but I presume Porcello has been doing whatever this is on purpose.

The pitch is very similar by its basic characteristics, and it’s also very similar based on the difference between itself and the fastball. Admins may or may not choose to remove the comment or block the author. One of the multiple issues with ERA is that it can rely heavily on the other members of the pitching staff. In fact, Jon Heyman reported that he turned down multi-year offers to play for the Mets.

Looking back to 2012, Porcello actually received outstanding support — only two of his 24 bequeathed runners came home — while Sanchez got killed by it, seeing 13 of his 21 runners come home. It’s a neat coincidence that the terms of the contract, one year and $10 million, match Blake Treinen’s deal with the Dodgers — two pitchers trying to prove they still have it. That hurt him badly, but before we jump to conclusions and blame the Detroit relievers too heavily, it’s important to note that Porcello’s Tiger teammate Anibal Sanchez had the best bullpen support of anyone in baseball. Peachy. Yet the anticipated breakout didn’t quite happen, not when Porcello put up an ERA north of 4.30 for the fourth straight year and was the subject of trade rumors this offseason.

The h-movement tells us Porcello’s curve ran away more from right-handed hitters and in on lefties.
In many ways, Porcello wasn’t that different in 2018 and 2019. But if he has a good year, maybe he goes into next offseason and signs for three years at, say, $14 million a year, or heck, maybe even something more than that. Though it seems as though he’s been around forever, Porcello turned 25 in December, and one recent projection named him as the starter least likely to land on the disabled list.

If history is any guide, the single highest predictor that Thor will not be traded is rumors that Thor will be traded. He mixes in the slider versus left handed batters sparingly, but when he’s ahead in the count, he’ll throw it about 20% of the time. Looking at FIP (3.53) and xFIP (3.19) instead, we can see that Porcello’s performance has been improving steadily for years, moving from below-average in 2010 and 2011 to considerably above-average last year. But to me, that just goes to show that Rick Porcello is the kind of guy who’s capable of spiking a five-win season, and just as capable of being only okay.

He worked the zone more up and down over the plate than he did side to side in the two years prior, so it could have messed with batters more when the rest of his pitches moved as they have.

This season, his flyball rate has increased from 38% to 41% and his BABIP has jumped to .366 (2nd highest value among qualified starters). That sent his ERA all the way up to 11.08, and it took him until July to get that mark below 5.00 for good.

FanGraphs does not have a paywall.

Lauber tells how Porcello best explains his 2016 success by saying he “better understands what makes him effective.” Maybe that has to do with knowing how much the game controls versus how much he can, which let him harness his own abilities more.

He relies heavily on the two-seam fastball (which is really much more akin to a sinker) and, in general, very good control.

With wins speaking to much more than simply the pitcher on the mound, there are two things to consider when digging into the question: What could Porcello repeat, and what could the Red Sox offense? Porcello’s a righty who stands a comparable 6’5, and Wainwright had his ace breakout at 27. Other than the fact that Porcello has been pretty bad this year, returning to his career norm of just average to not good.

His fastball didn’t have its customary ride, but it didn’t lose spin or all that much spin efficiency; it just came out of his hand differently, as he added some horizontal movement at the cost of vertical. Especially since the Mets only had 5 starting pitchers on the depth charts.
Granted, there are similarities between lots of great players and lots of inferior players. career and pitch movement data from FanGraphs; pitch usage from Baseball Savant.
