Darrell Rasner has Luck on his Side

Crooked Pitch takes a look at Yankee’s call up Darrel Rasner:

Rasner’s hit rate (BABIP) is 19.5% (.195). He’s getting a lot of help from lucky bounces and fielding effect once his pitches are hit into play. His hit rate will normalize soon, and when it does, his ERA should start climbing.

His peripherals didn’t look good in the minors so I didn’t jump on him in any of the leagues I’m in. I’m getting tired of the, “he plays for a team who can get him runs, so he’ll get you wins, pick him up” cliche. He may have gotten you a few wins and decent ERA but I don’t think he’s worth dropping anyone for.
