In the “WAR (bWAR)” rankings compiled by the Baseball Organization, Peddy is ranked third overall among pitchers in both leagues with 3.2 points as of Thursday (Korea time). He is ranked 12th among all players including fielders. There has never been a case of making the top 10 in the pitching category as well as the bWAR among KBO players.
The best bWAR record among KBO pitchers was 5.1 marked by Ryu Hyun-jin of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2019. However, the top bWAR pitcher was Mike Minor of the Texas Rangers, who posted 8.0 in that year, and Ryu, who won the ERA, was not among the top 10. Major variables in a pitcher’s WAR are pitching innings, WHIP, hit rate, and strikeout FIP. Average earned run does not determine the WAR ranking. The pitcher’s overall capability is considered.
As of today, Detroit Tigers’ Tarik Skubal is the top pitcher with a 3.5 mark. He pitched 79 ⅔ in 13 games this season, recording eight wins and one loss with an ERA of 1.92, 96 strikeouts, FIP 2.20 and WHIP 0.891. FIP and WHIP are the top players in the AL. LA Angels left-hander Tyler Anderson (5-6, 2.63, 53 strikeouts) ranked second with a bWAR of 3.3. 슬롯사이트 순위
In 14 games, he pitched 81 ⅓ innings, recording a 4-1 record with an ERA of 3.10, 22 walks, 77 strikeouts, WHIP 1.16, and a batting average of 0.228. However, he has fewer wins than his pitches.
Peddy pitched well against the Seattle Mariners on the 11th with five hits and one run in seven innings, but failed to secure a victory because the bullpen allowed the reversal. It is already the third time this season that he has not been a winning pitcher even after achieving a quality start in this way.
Peddy was named MVP last year with a 20-6 record, 2.00 ERA, and 209 strikeouts by the NC Dinos. Peddy, who had not received much attention during his six seasons with the Washington Nationals before that, successfully re-entered the Major League last winter by signing a two-year, $15 million contract with the White Sox with his skill in the KBO.
Peddie uses sinker (30.4 percent), cutter (27.0 percent), sweeper (21.3 percent), change-up (21.2 percent), and four-seam (0.2 percent). His main types are sinker with 93.2 miles on average and cutter with 90.0 miles on average. Statcast shows that cutter value, which is his fastball family, ranks 150th, or the top 25 percent. The No. 1 pitch value is slider by Boston Red Sox Tanner Hauke.
Peddy is the real ace of the White Sox. He ranks first in ERA and pitching innings in his team. Garrett Crochet, who is making his first full-time start, is marking six wins and five losses with an ERA of 3.33 and 103 strikeouts, and both are one-two punches. Peddy will become a free agent after next season and Crochet must finish the 2026 season.
Given this situation, many predict that Pedi will be put up for sale in the trade market this summer. There could be a trade war over Pedi. Pedi’s stock price is soaring from now on.
The Athletic, a leading local media outlet, pointed out eight teams that can target Peddy in a corner titled “trade targets of each team” on the day: the Cleveland Guardians, the Minnesota Twins, the Detroit Tigers, the Houston Astros, the Atlanta Braves, the St. Louis Cardinals, the Milwaukee Brewers, and the San Diego Padres. All of these teams have potential postseason players and need quality starting pitchers.
In particular, the media outlet reported on San Diego that the Padres are highly likely to invest in this trade market as well. They have already started talking with the Miami Marlins and Jesus Luzardo, and the White Sox over Garrett Crochet and Eric Peddy.
With a win rate of 0.246, the White Sox are the only team among the 30 teams that has a total of around 20 percent. They announced their plan to rebuild the team early on. They are planning to sell not only Freddie but also Louis Robert Jr., the core of their lineup. Robert Jr. will also become a free agent after next season. If you want to sell the product, it would be best to sell it now.
