" ... A groundball specialist, Melancon saved 11 of 13 chances for Atlanta last year, posting a 2.78 earned run average that was his best in four seasons. He also pitched well throughout the playoffs, which the Braves nearly parlayed into their first pennant since 1999. ... "
" ... As for Gyorko, this is a case where he might be able to prove his value to teams before they ink him to a deal. His walk rate stayed steady in 2019, and his strikeout rate and groundball rate ticked up a bit, but what really sunk him were pop-ups and a complete loss of power. Gyorko’s infield flyball rate more than doubled in 2019, and his isolated power was cut in half from his 2018 figure.

Combine that with a roughly average walk rate, home run rate and batting average on balls in play, and you have something like a mid to high-3 ERA pitcher. Luzardo’s limited time in the big leagues makes it hard to project what kind of batted ball profile he will induce. He has run high groundball rates at points in the minor leagues, but we don’t yet know if he can carry that into a big league starting role. ... "
" ... “The fact is that are guys are continuing to battle,” Shelton said. “Teams that don’t play hard, don’t give consistent effort, they don’t do what we did in the ninth inning today. I think you’ve seen guys consistently going hard on every groundball. You’re seeing us battle through at-bats. ... "
